Resiliency Center of Fresno
In 2023, The Resiliency Center of Fresno was awarded 750K from the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) to train their clinical staff in Parent-Child Psychotherapy (CPP) and to support multiple clinical staff positions. CPP is an intensive therapy model that supports family strengths and relationships, helps families heal and grow after stressful experiences, and respects family and cultural values.
Fresno residents experience a higher rate of domestic violence incidents per capita than larger cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
With this investment by the DHCS, The Resiliency Center of Fresno can support those families who are disproportionately impacted by domestic violence.
TabiMOMS
In 2024, TabiMOMS was granted 250K from The Sierra Health Foundation to establish the Solano Community Collaborative for Wellness, Sustainability, and Equitable Systems Change.
African-American/Black people in the US experience health disparities that are a result of systemic racism and lack of access.
This collaborative aims to identify health disparities experienced by African-American/Black residents and engage with the county and city health systems to create systems change for more equitable health outcomes.
A Hopeful Encounter
In 2021, San Joaquin Valley Health Fund awarded A Hopeful Encounter $50K to support its Hmong Youth Green Space Advocacy Project. Then, in 2023, The Center at Sierra Health awarded A Hopeful Encounter $15,000 to support its youth advocacy work to address environmental, land use, and planning disparities directly impacting the Hmong population in Fresno.
Fresno boasts the second-highest population of Hmong residents in the United States. These residents face unique barriers to healthy outcomes, including access to green and community spaces where they feel welcomed and celebrated.
