Impact

Health, economic, and educational disparities disproportionately hurt communities of color and young people, which can both create and exacerbate mental health issues. Lincoln Families provides mental health services in schools and the community to help youth and families coping with trauma to succeed. We work to disrupt generational poverty at our Family Resource Centers, providing supports for families to build skills and achieve economic mobility. Our educational engagement and literacy programs close the opportunity gap for youth, open academic and career pathways, and build strong futures.

Lincoln Families 2024-2029 Strategic Plan is our visionary roadmap that evolves our mission, clarifies our vision, and details our growth and goals. We seek to bolster, deepen, and sustain our mental health and family strengthening services in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Additionally, we will prioritize systemic change to strengthen our work in schools and communities, remove barriers to care, and advance racial and social justice.

Partnerships

Our commitment to disrupting cycles of poverty and trauma requires community collaboration and investment. As a result, we at Lincoln Families pursue collaborative partnerships with mission-aligned organizations to foster mutual strategic thinking and resource sharing assistance for greater collective impact in our service hubs of Oakland, Hayward, and East Contra Costa County. We also partner with a wide variety of companies and corporations that help to make our work possible.
