Our Mission:
Positive Results Center's (PRC) mission is to create culturally specific awareness to prevent and end trauma resulting from dating/domestic and intimate partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and bullying by helping people develop healthy relationships.
Our Vision:
We envision a World Where All People Are Safe & Free from Violence in Their Homes!
Our Goal:
We aim to improve health equity for historically marginalized, underserved communities by providing prevention education, healing strategies, and culturally specific and sensitive training.
Our Why
Violence undermines the physical, mental, and social health of individuals and communities in Los Angeles County and around the world.
In recent years, we have witnessed an escalation of violence, including intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and the crisis of missing and murdered Black women, girls, and boys.
Mental illness is on the rise, along with issues like kidnapping and sex trafficking, as well as suicidal ideation and attempts among Black and Brown children.
We are just beginning to understand how the memory of violence lives in our great-grandmothers' wombs and is carried in our mothers' wombs.
Just like fight, flight, and freeze, we also learn about violence in the womb.
We have long known how essential it is to provide prevention education and workshops to boys and men about violence prevention, healthy relationships, consent, and boundaries, and holding people accountable for their actions and behaviors.
Boys and Men account for a significant amount of violence; however, not all boys and men are abusive.
Moreover, we recognize that PTSD does not adequately describe the experiences of many in communities of color. When did we move past trauma?
When continually exposed to violence, abuse, and trauma stemming from institutional or systemic racism, it becomes CTSD—Continued Traumatic Stress Disorder.
We are also learning about the long-term impacts of COVID-19 and how the pandemic has affected the communities we serve.
We are learning and unlearning how to engage, support, and empower individuals with lived experiences that have influenced their ability to live abundantly.
We need your support! Won't You join us and contribute to our community healing?
Although we serve everyone, we center the lives and voices of Black and Brown people as our primary audience, and their experiences inform our work.
