At Imagine Further...
We believe, given equitable support, all youth can thrive.
​
Our year long, anti-violence program prevents crime by equipping youth with mental health education, emotional regulation methods, coping skills, conflict resolution and impulse control techniques, and leadership opportunities.
​
We have served 1,100 children in Pittsburgh and hosted 250 program sessions since 2020.
​
Together, we will heal ourselves and our communities.
A Journey Toward Impact
On average, research from the National Alliance on Mental Illness shows it takes youth 11 years from the onset of mental health symptoms for them to receive mental health services. What happens during those 11 years impacts an individual's life. Will they make the right choices?
Our community-based anti-violence program:
Prevents Crime
Equips youth with mental health education, emotional regulation methods, coping skills, conflict resolution and impulse control techniques, and leadership opportunities.
Bridges Gaps
Spans missing areas in mental health services for youth impacted by systemic inequities (i.e. under/uninsured youth, mental health provider shortages, lack of transportation and technology, etc.)
Fosters Safety
Grows safer, healthier communities by breaking the mental health stigma, preventing youth crime, and opening paths for individualized and community healing.
Creates Relationships
With a focus on collaborative, community-led change, we partner with local youth-serving organizations, universities, and community stakeholders to service Pittsburgh's most underserved youth.
