Naming the experience. Building resilience.
Amachi helps youth recognize and cope with the emotional impact of parental incarceration through the Sanctuary Model — a psycho-educational, trauma-informed framework.
“What we found is that often in these communities, people deal with so many layers of complex issues. It’s embedded in the communities that they live in, and so children are predisposed to high stress and trauma at a young age.”
“Being made aware of racial disparities in the criminal justice system and how those disparities persist is arming our young people and our families with information that they can use to avert falling into those traps.”
Collaborating across the community.
Amachi has partnered with organizations across the region, including Mon Valley Initiative, Woodland Hills Impact Center, and many more across Allegheny County.
"We just want the community to know we're here for you. We really mean it - and we gave it that name on purpose."
