What people are saying.

“Anyone working with young people probably shares the experience of some type of outburst or sudden mood change that seems to come on without a clear trigger. Mental Health Connect gives one a strategy and a vocabulary to de-escalate the situation and help the young person stabilize themselves. This approach is helpful with all young people, in fact, with all people, but especially when traumatic experiences are involved.”

— Adam Somers, Executive Director, CCC Foundation

“Mental Health Connect’s expertise and understanding of the mental health needs of low-income, minority youth has proved invaluable in the design and implementation of progressive behavioral intervention strategies which are rooted in the principles of positive behavior expectation and response to intervention. These systems are structured within a multi-tiered system of support that provides all learners the tools they need to succeed both academically and socially emotionally. Mental Health Connect has provided numerous training sessions for our staff and students to ensure successful implementation, in addition to providing data driven accountability to the fidelity of the program.”

— Dan Thomas, Executive Director, Urban Corps of San Diego

“It was important to us at Eastern Sierra Conservation Corps to make mental health resources available to our staff and participants and the folks at Mental Health Connect not only made this possible, but worked with us to develop resources to fit all of our needs. They made the process easy and straightforward and the services and trainings we received had a huge impact on all our programs this year. We loved working with this team and want to certainly continue having them provide services to our organization.”

— Agnes Vianzon, Founder and Executive Director, Eastern Sierra Conservation Corps

“In partnership with Mental Health Connect, we developed a trauma-informed progressive intervention model that is designed to enhance the supportive resources available to the vulnerable population of youth we serve. The training and tools MHC has provided to our team has prepared them to observe, listen, and appropriately respond to the needs of the Corpsmembers. The services provided by Mental Health Connect are invaluable.”

— Dr. Marie Mercadel, COO, Urban Corps of San Diego

“The California Conservation Corps serves approximately 2,500 young adult Corpsmembers, age 18 – 25, per year. This demographic can frequently encounter challenges with mental health, wellness and substance use/abuse. The team at Mental Health Connect has been instrumental in helping us deliver trainings to address Coping with COVID-19, How to Assist Someone Experiencing a Mental Health Crisis, Mental Health First Aid, Unconscious Bias, and Wellness among our staff and Corpsmembers.  Additionally, a mental health pocket guide they developed with the help of our internal staff was customized to benefit our population and is in wide use. I highly recommend Mental Health Connect and they are WONDERFUL to work with.”

— Hunt Drouin, Program Development Manager, California Conservation Corps
