Community Workforce Development

Training and developing the next generation of community mental health leaders

Each year, we train diverse cohorts of social work interns and grassroots leaders in fundamentals of trauma informed care and community wellness. We tailor this professional development to students and leaders from refugee and immigrant communities themselves. Since 2016, we have mentored nearly 100 people — 80% who identify as women or gender nonconforming, from 20 immigrant/refugee communities — and delivered hundreds of hours of training for providers across the Bay Area region.
