PROGRAMS

We focus on creating environments that support the whole child through building community resiliency to prevent and mitigate the adverse outcomes of childhood trauma. We foster equity through cross-sector, multilevel collaboration among community sectors and key stakeholders. Prism Lite program is a trauma-informed program for families, businesses, faith-based centers, and communities to build resilience and their own sense of worth by centering themselves.

We provide trauma-informed programming so that people who have experienced significant adversity can heal from those traumas. We work with families, businesses, and communities to prevent the cycle of childhood trauma by teaching skills they need to be healthy, safe, secure, and whole. We believe adults serve as a means of capacity building for the network of support for the one in four children who have experienced ACEs in North Carolina.
