Community Healing And Mental Health Project (CHAMP) was founded to honor the life of Atatiana Jefferson and to address the urgent need for mental wellness support in Fort Worth communities most impacted by trauma, poverty, and violence. Since becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2021, CHAMP has provided free short-term counseling sessions, Unity Healing Camps for middle school students, and Community Conversations that dismantle stigma and build resilience. Through innovative programs like the CHAMP Mobile Mental Wellness Unit, which brings counseling, group services, and even virtual reality experiences directly into neighborhoods, CHAMP is breaking down barriers to care. We proudly serve zip codes with the lowest life expectancy in Texas, fostering healing, empowerment, and brighter futures for youth, families, and communities across North Texas.
Community Healing And Mental Health Project (CHAMP) is dedicated to fostering a community where conversations about mental health are encouraged, resources are easily accessible, and prioritizing healing takes center stage. Our commitment lies in advocating for change, dismantling stigma, and actively promoting healing within black and brown communities.
Expansion of Counseling Services: We aim to serve 100 youth and young adults with free short-term counseling. To better support their mental health needs, we plan to expand our counseling sessions from 5 to 8 sessions per individual.
Mobile Mental Wellness Unit Retrofit: We seek support to retrofit our Mobile Mental Wellness Unit to enhance its functionality and capacity. This will enable us to provide more comprehensive and accessible mental health services to underserved communities.
Continuation of Unity Healing Camps: Continued support is essential to offer the unique and transformative experience of the Unity Healing Camps. These camps provide middle school students with valuable life skills, mental health support, and enriching activities that foster personal growth and resilience.
At CHAMP, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment where every individual has access to the support and resources they need to thrive. We recognize the systemic barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized communities, particularly Black and Brown youth, and we are dedicated to addressing these disparities through our programs and services.
