Our Goal

Our goal is to normalize mental health to help adolescents and young adults increase motivation to approach goal-oriented outcomes as well as build on their strengths using culturally relevant approaches, which may foster more positive perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes related to self, others, and their education.

  • Black girls are 6 times more likely to be suspended when compared to White counterparts 
  • Latinx youth are 2-3 times more likely to be incarcerated when compared to White counterparts
Black and Latinx youth are disproportionately suspended and expelled and, due to mental health stigma, are least likely to seek mental health services.
