Agency Update: Embrace Families undergoes reorganization

Embrace Families Solutions works to strengthen families and the communities in which they live. As an affiliated non-profit agency operated as part of Embrace Families, our goal is to get ahead of challenges that often disrupt families like victim advocacy, family homelessness and youth mental health. This work helps to strengthen and keep families intact before they become overwhelmed by crisis.

Embrace Families Solutions was formed in 2013 as a separate non-profit agency, remaining as part of the overall Embrace Families organization. Our programs aim to improve the lives of children, their families, and the Central Florida community by filling critical gaps in the community-wide system of care for vulnerable populations.

Mental Health Awareness Training

The Mental Health Awareness Training project raises awareness for identifying and responding to mental health needs in youth. Approximately half of all mental health disorders develop by the age of 14, and suicide is currently the third leading cause of death for youth between the ages of 10 and 24. This project offers caring adults who work with youth ages 12 to 18 the opportunity to proactively learn about mental health needs, dispelling myths and reducing stigma, through a free Youth Mental Health First Aid ® certification course.
