YOU, Inc. was awarded $108,031 to implement a comprehensive Bi-Lingual System Navigators project which will improve access to critical mental health services within our large Latinx, immigrant and low-income communities. This funding will position YOU, Inc. to expand our capacity to offer or facilitate bilingual triage services in our clients’ first languages (most notably Spanish), and ensure a welcoming and inclusive environment that respects the diversity of those we serve.

 

YOU, Inc. was awarded $85,908 to provide a comprehensive series of clinical trainings in evidence-based, brief treatment models. These strategies are proven to stabilize clients in the short term, allow clinicians to quickly assess risks including safety, substance use and other co-occurring disorders, and mitigate the need for more intensive and longer-term treatment.
