Overview
Mission
Our mission is to make mental health and related services available to underserved, marginalized, and/or disenfranchised people through organizational and individual capacity building. We are most notably dedicated to supporting services to people who have experienced discrimination and stigma and to those whose identities are particularly vulnerable to systems of oppression.
What it reported doing in 2024
VALOR Violence And Loss Organizational Response Valor: great courage in the face of danger (English) Valor: value and/or bravery (Spanish) For any organization where people have experienced violence or sudden or traumatic loss, or for organizations or agencies located in urban neighborhoods where gun and/or other community violence occurs frequently, there is an increased probability that employees will experience violence, the death or injury of a client, or perhaps the death or injury of a colleague. The Wingspan Project's VALOR program is designed to provide support for individuals and organizations experiencing such violence and loss. In 2023, more than 70 helping professionals were provided coaching, averaging 17 sessions each for a total of 1,190 hours of direct engagement and 100+ hours of supervisory, management, and program oversight engagement with non-profit organizations participating in the program..

The verdict
