Unity Healing Camps
CHAMP is a collaborative initiative between CHAMP, AKACHI Ranch, and NC2 Youth aimed at providing a transformative experience for middle school scholars (aged 11-14) residing in the 76104 and 76105 zip codes, who have faced trauma related to gun violence and abuse. This weekend retreat offers a holistic approach to healing by immersing participants in countryside living and engaging them in a range of therapeutic and recreational activities.
Community Conversation and Connection
Community Conversation and Connection is a comprehensive initiative dedicated to educating, empowering, and fostering trauma-informed communities. This program serves as a platform where community members can openly share their experiences and emotions within a safe and non-judgmental environment. It is designed to provide education, resources, and advocacy for trauma-informed practices and interventions aimed at supporting individuals and the community as a whole. Moreover, it advocates for justice, accountability, and systemic change to prevent future incidents of community trauma.
Free Mental Health Services and Parental Support
CHAMP is dedicated to providing free short-term counseling services tailored for youths aged 11-17 who have experienced any form of gun violence or abuse. The program aims to reduce juvenile incarcerations associated with gun violence and enhance self-awareness while fostering positive coping skills. Additionally, these counseling services extend to the youth's parent(s) or guardian(s) to support holistic healing within the family unit.
