Description: Culturally relevant counseling and wellness education services for underserved communities of color. Empowering self-directed journeys towards inner strength and tranquility.
We provide culturally relevant counseling and wellness education services to underserved communities of color. Our goal is to improve the overall mental, emotional, and physical health through a customized approach. Our counseling approach combines lived experience with academic knowledge and focuses on using language that connects to the people, instead of the typical psychology jargon. We aim to empower individuals to embark on a self-directed journey towards inner strength and tranquility.
There are currently 10 conventional counseling theories, all of which are written by individuals who rely on traditional approaches that lack the cultural nuance and relevance to connect to communities of color. Our mission is to develop culturally relevant frameworks for counseling theories specifically designed for communities of color.
The Youth Peer Mentor and Student Advocate Certificate Program is designed to foster a supportive, inclusive, and growth-oriented community where individuals can develop and strengthen their sense of connectedness, acknowledge their unique qualities and experiences, build resilience, and discover their emergence as empowered and capable individuals. This 16-week program will provide a platform for participants to connect, learn, and grow together through peer mentorship.
