Project snapshot
Mommy & Daddy’s Little Angels Youth and Family Services Inc. implements the Holistic Mental Wellness and Violence Prevention Hub for Underserved Teens, a monthly trauma-informed, arts-integrated therapeutic program serving up to 150 youth ages 13–A in Brooklyn and Staten Island. Sessions combine expressive arts therapy, peer-led resilience and conflict-resolution modules, mentorship, and case management, plus meals and transit support. The initiative emphasizes prevention, leadership development, cross-sector referrals, and rigorous evaluation to reduce youth isolation, interrupt violence cycles, and improve adolescent emotional literacy.
