“Our msw program is thriving. With the addition of a new full-time staff member who is a licensed clinical social worker, we have expanded our reach and enhanced our training program for msw interns to better prepare them for the upcoming school year. The acquisition of the city of santa monicas human services grant has enabled the hiring of this new staff member and will ensure the continued growth of our work with the schools of santa monica. 705 young people received mental health services and support through our direct youth services training ive never gotten so comfortable with a therapist as i did with (sewi, msw intern) i felt as though i was supported and could get through most of my problems when i talked with her about them. - youth client”

“This past spring, we piloted our social and emotional learning for adults (sela) curriculum. The pilot sessions were highly successful and when asked to share what they found most valuable about them, participants reported: having time to reflect and create plans for change in my life, its hard to set aside time or feel like its necessary but it was so validating and eye-opening., it gave me the space to reflect with guidance and also hold me accountable in doing those reflections. I don't think i would do this on my own this easily., i usually do not like therapy or workshops, but the facilitators were great and down to earth. They presented and ran the workshop wonderfully. Our sela curriculum will be ready for distribution in the fall of 2024. Our social & emotional learning for youth (selfy) curriculums have been updated to better align with the evolving needs of our youth-serving partners. These revisions aim to enhance the effectiveness and relevance of the curriculums in addressing the social and emotional needs of the youth we serve.”
