EMPOWR (EMbracing Progress and Opportunities, We Rise)

EMPOWR is a team-based mental health program serving transition-aged youth (TAY), ages 16–24, many of whom are navigating serious mental health concerns, co-occurring substance use, histories of community violence and exploitation, and involvement in child welfare, probation, and other systems. Two multidisciplinary teams—each comprised of clinicians, case managers, and intensive care coordinators—share responsibility for a common caseload and provide coordinated, trauma-informed, and culturally relevant care. The program focuses on supporting participants as they build mental health stability, housing security, educational and employment success, and meaningful community connections.

C-Change: Transforming the Lives of Sexually Exploited Youth

C-Change provides intensive, team-based mental health services to youth who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation in the Bay Area. Through a multidisciplinary, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach, staff build consistent, trusting relationships and remain engaged with youth across all stages of healing. The team offers integrated clinical services and care coordination that help young people access what they need most—such as safe housing, health care, and educational resources—while supporting them to see themselves as worthy of care and respect, strengthen their sense of safety and autonomy, and develop the skills needed to advocate for themselves.
