Community Health Resource Center strives to address the collective and individual trauma caused by systemic racism and police violence. Our hearts break at the news of more death at the hands of law enforcement, more recently Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright -Wright’s death occurring just ten miles away from where Derek Chauvin’s trial was ongoing.
In addition to our own mental health resources, here are several organizations that offer support in dealing with racial trauma and community violence:
-
- National Alliance on Mental Illness, SF “Resources” https://www.namisf.org/contact
- San Francisco State University “Racial Trauma Resiliency and Ally Resources” https://psyservs.sfsu.edu/content/racial-trauma-resiliency-and-ally-resources
- Hollaback! “Bystander Resources” https://www.ihollaback.org/bystander-resources/
- Healthright 360 “Mental Health Services” https://www.healthright360.org/content/mental-health
