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 8–24 years old 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.
