In 2021, Homeless Children’s Network (HCN) launched a mental health services training program to train underemployed or unemployed Black San Franciscans in Afri-Centric approaches to mental health and holistic well-being. HCN’s Amani Mental Health Training Program is funded through a partnership between the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD), Dream Keeper Initiative, and Human Rights Commission (HRC). HCN’s program was started with the intention of providing an alternative entry point and training opportunities beyond traditional academic environments for health-based careers such as Community Health Workers and Peer Support Specialists.
The reports highlight each program's methodology, key findings, and spotlight our impact through the voices of program participants and our HCN team. Graphics and graphic representations of each program's essence and impact were done by Rio Holaday.
