Our Programs

Youth Empowerment Program

The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) dedicates to providing peer support groups to the high school students and young adults of Madera County. Some of the topics that the program covers: anger management, suicide awareness, leadership and communication skills, depression and anxiety.

Our services are centered around a Wellness & Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) model for everyday living. WRAP works to identify the early warning signs and symptoms of mental illness and provide age appropriate tools to manage them. This program works to develop resources, life skills, strategies and support systems to improve their self-esteem and assist them in creating successful and mentally healthy lives. On-going referrals are received all year long.
