Yetunde Price Resource Center Details
The Yetunde Price Resource Center (YPRC) collaborates with partner organizations to offer trauma-informed programs that promote individual and community-wide healing and resiliency. YPRC works to ensure that victims of direct or indirect senseless violence have complete access to existing resources and that where there is a dearth in services, new resources are created. To achieve our mission we focus on core pillars:Community Asset Mapping: Compton and the surrounding area of Southern Los Angeles offer many resources to its residents. However, if residents do not know the resources exist, do not feel empowered, face a language barrier, do not have transportation or face other such obstacles to access, the services can't be used. YPRC is taking the lead to create a comprehensive database of assets in the community and working to remove barriers to usage.Community-based systems navigation: Working to help individuals suffering from trauma heal by guiding them to free or discounted services available throughout Southern Los Angeles. Each case is given dedicated, compassionate attention. This work is concurrent with creating a more robust database.Program Creation: Through our research and in speaking to partners, there are some resources and services, which do not exist.YPRC works with our partners and funders to create new programming to fill those voids when necessary.Community Education: Partnering with schools, housing systems, police departments, health and mental health providers, social services, the justice system, civic organizations, government organizations, academia, and community leaders to provide community programs in resiliency, social problem solving, conflict resolution, preventing violence, and self-care.Expressive arts therapy: Working with victims and at-risk individuals to prevent and recover from trauma through poetry, creative writing, music therapy, dance and movement therapy, and dramatic arts.
