RE:CLAIMING OUR HEALTH
The Youth Care Clinic is a youth-led peer mentoring space committed to being a vital lifeline for other young people experiencing moments of crisis. They offer understanding and guidance without judgement in a safe environment. The YCP not only addresses immediate basic needs, but commits to long-lasting relationships for mutual personal growth.
RE:Frame is cultivating and sharing more compassionate practices for holding young people. By judgement-free listening and asking questions, rather than giving opinions, the YCP cultivates a space for young people to control their lives, set goals, take actions that align with their values and aspirations, and build courage to embrace change.
YOUTH CARE CLINIC TEAM
PEER SUPPORT NAVIGATORS
Navigators are trained young leaders 15-24 years old who co-create a plan to support your mental health and living conditions. Navigators help their fellow peers find and navigate community resources that are positive and safe, including partnering adult accomplices. Navigators are dedicated to addressing the erosion of public services by building a network of healthy community partners for needed material resources, mental health support, trauma recovery, and legal resources.
HEALING JUSTICE COHORT
Offered in the Fall, Spring, and Summer, cohorts are paid training experience for teens 15 - 18 years old or 8th to 12th grade, to learn community health systems, trauma-informed care, and peer support models. Our youth-led curriculum makes shifts away from capitalism and big pharmaceutical companies by focusing on mutual aid, education, and advocacy. We learn alternative and holistic health practices to reduce reliance on western medicine. Cohorts create healing resources at the Clinic as part of their hands-on learning.
HEALING JUSTICE FELLOWS
Offered as 6 month and 12 month paid Fellowships for teens 16-18, and young adults 19 - 21. Fellows work alongside community partners of the Clinic to analyze local and state health systems, contribute to public health plans, and testify at hearings about unmet community needs. Fellows work with policy mentors, health workers, and public officials to propose and advocate for trauma-informed, community-driven health changes. Fellows organize community healing circles, workshops, and resource hubs for schools, health facilities, and group homes.
We are always looking for organizations, and adults with expertise that desire their services validate the voices of young people seeking treatment and care
