Description
Founded in 1992, the mission of The Catalyst Foundation is to create a healing society. Under this umbrella, we are dedicated to decreasing the impact of unhealed emotional pain and trauma (from childhood abuse, neglect, and other difficult life situations) on society and the world through direct service, public education, advocacy, policy reform, and empowerment of directly affected and disenfranchised groups. We are also dedicated to improving the health and well-being of low-income, medically indigent, and homeless persons through high-quality, compassionate medical care, health education, and supportive social services. We have over a decade of experience in working with the incarcerated, and have served over 35,000 incarcerated teens with our Life Challenge HIV/STD prevention and gang intervention program. We also provide rehabilitative programs for adult prisoners, and work to support prisoner rehabilitation statewide in order to create safer communities.
