Mission

Our mission is to support families with hope and solutions beyond survival. Our cornerstone programs and services shift families' mental, spiritual, and financial health trajectories.

Men, women, and children who are unhoused, in transition homes, being treated and recovering from cancer, addictions, or other debilitating illnesses, families reuniting, and those re-entering the workforce and working for families with more months than money: Employed and unhoused or without basic needs covered.

Our services remove the stigma of mental health services for families, caregivers, and those grieving with support services and introduce counseling services to families with professional counselors and support processes as a way of life rather than seeing counseling as help for the crazed. Additionally, we shift the families' path with basic needs, such as groceries, utility assistance, rental assistance, home furnishing, gas cards, financial counseling, and much more. 

We influence and impact "The 4 pillars of life: Relationships, Health, Work and Provider-ship, Emotional and Spiritual Development." We accomplish this through our eclectic approach to mental health.

• De-stigmatizing mental health and transforming the narrative of mental health: Establishing mental health is not always related to mental disorders, but learning new inPowering norms to manage and deal with stress, depression, change, disappointment, frustration, finances, health, and so much more, with positive humanistic counseling, coaching, educational workshops, inPowering community dialogues, summits, programs, and services focused on families discovering solutions of equilibrium and harmony.

• Our eclectic approach to mental health. Open dialogues (i.e., Healing Safe Places), experiential skills, development, spirit, mind, and body practices (i.e., Breath Work and more). We are a bridge for families by providing in-powering, lasting hope, and long-term solutions to hardships through education, support, programs, and services.
