Youth Resilience Institute

Mission Statement

The Youth Resilience Institute believes that mental health and substance abuse can be managed and curbed through early detection and timely diagnosis. As a result, the organization will work closely with existing community organizations and referred families and individuals, to identify early indicators and other risk factors and address them at the earliest possible onset. The expected result of this community immersion is increasing numbers of South Los Angeles’ families capable of preventing and/or managing the incidence of mental health and substance abuse among their loved ones.
