We empower Young Adults ages 18-40 as they face shifts in development and thinking while transitioning from adolescence into young adulthood and preparing for later adulthood. We work with them in four areas:

9

• Self-care including mental health and physical health

• Visioning for future goals including academic support and career readiness

• Developing and managing healthy relationships

• Financial Education

• Workforce development connectivity through partnerships with local employers and career tech education partners.

Small Business + Entrepreneurship Support

Small businesses are the heartbeat of communities. Our programs help business owners grow through a series of support mechanisms focused on professional growth, building capacity and more.

​

Our educational programs have a transformative impact on economic development, by promoting collaboration, improving productivity, and increasing effectiveness. Other outcomes include: increased job creation, development of new businesses, growth of existing businesses, and improved overall quality of life. Entrepreneurial communities work to develop local entrepreneurs and to attract new entrepreneurs.

Caregiver Support

​

Equity Alliance restores hope to individuals and families caring for loved ones. Caregivers establish a network of resources for:

​

• Self-care including mental health and physical health

• Opportunities to share emotions, problem share and exchange advice

• Developing strategies to manage stress and balance responsibilities

• Establishing resource networks in health care, the community and the legal system

​

Caring for loved ones have become increasingly difficult as people live longer and the demands of daily life increase. Caregivers often neglect themselves in an effort to provide quality care for ill and aging loved ones. Caregivers struggle to provide the optimal care experience for their loved ones while allowing them to maintain their independence and care with dignity. Often loved ones do not receive that dignity and quality care in an expensive facility. Equity Alliance restores hope in courageous caregivers.

​

Coaches and resource partners utilize a variety of services to support caregivers. Caregivers develop two plans:

​

• How to care for themselves

• How to care for their loved ones. Group support, workshops, social events and webinars encourage caregivers. They know they are not alone while developing strategies to sustain balance in their life, reduce stress and manage their health. Utilizing wraparound services, Equity Alliance and their community resource partners help families create and maintain a nurturing environment during a challenging time.

Domestic Violence Support

​

We offer support to victims of Domestic Violence in a non-judgmental nurturing environment. We partner with the entire family to restore wholeness beginning with the victim.

​

• Offer support by linking the victim with emergency resources for their basic needs

• Explore options to develop a plan by exploring legal rights, counseling, alternative therapy, etc.

• Connect the victim with abuse prevention resources while they develop their future story

• Empower the entire family with resources including counseling, support services, etc. that focus on a reshaping behaviors and tackling issues that lead to domestic violence instead of defaulting to anger management

​

Domestic Violence results from learned behaviors and control issues. The Equity Alliance team and its partners create a shift in those behaviors in a non-judgmental environment that offers support while challenging the life-long patterns and abuses of power that lead to domestic violence.

​

Equity Alliance develops individualized plans with the victim and each of their family members including the accused. Utilizing a series of counseling sessions, resources, individual workshops and group seminars, we provided the therapy needed to restore individuals and families to RISE above their circumstances and explore new hope for their lives.
