​MISSION:

Journey4ward's mission is to ensure that all families in our communities have immediate access to meaningful, effective mental healthcare necessary to heal and restore them while helping them through pitfalls associated with unaddressed trauma. The goal is to help heal our communities and ensure access to free mental health services for all families. We are a resource to victims and families, helping them heal from trauma by providing free services that include traumatic grief counseling for children and adults, judicial support services, community education, and peer-based and ongoing therapeutic activities.
Journey4ward promotes prosocial youth activities for at-risk youth, including counseling programs, gun violence curriculum, and teaching principles that create nonviolence, leadership, and other skills that will engage youth to become proactive in the fight against gun violence, ultimately interrupting the gun violence in our communities. We advocate for sustaining a community culture of nonviolence and building community partnerships to support victims and youth.
