Our Initiative

Our initiative is to create a safe, accessible, and welcoming environment where youth can explore their own strengths, goals, dreams, beliefs, values, passions, and identities. We provide culturally appropriate supports, services and approaches that help cope with the growing needs of mental health challenges to empower youth to thrive.
