This project will alleviate poverty by strengthening organizational systems by creating sustainable infrastructure, volunteer management processes, partnership development tools, communication resources, and impact reporting processes that help the Community Healing and Mental Health Project (CHAMP) be more efficient and expanding their impact. The community capacity-building work will help CHAMP in serving communities in their effort to improve mental health outcomes, reduce behavior-related school suspensions and dropout rates, curb gun violence, and lower teen incarceration rates in communities. The lasting effects of this program will empower communities to overcome challenges by supporting individual healing and community resilience.
