Coronado SAFE (Student and Family Enrichment) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to partner with parents and the community to develop and sustain healthy, responsible youth and families. In addition to promoting wellness, Coronado SAFE’s programs actively help to prevent anxiety, depression substance abuse, and suicide. SAFE partners with the community to create open dialogue to reduce the stigma of these complex issues so that together we can find solutions. SAFE’s mission in action is to teach life-skills by providing on-campus enrichment programs from pre-kindergarten through high school that foster life-skills and coping-skills, offers numerous parent education workshops, classes and seminars, and hosts several no-cost counseling support options for Coronado students and families in need. You can find more information on Coronado SAFE at CoronadoSAFE.org.
At San Diego Youth Services, they encourage and embrace a “Trauma Informed Care” philosophy. Trauma Informed Care is a collaborative philosophy that acknowledges the impact of one’s life experiences and guides our interactions to promote connection, inspiration, strength and healing. They believe that every youth and their family should be connected to resources that will best meet their needs. If resources are not available within San Diego Youth Services {SDYS}, they will connect you with a community partner who will assist you.
Coronado Junior Woman’s Club, Our mission is to unite together women who are dedicated to enhancing the spirit of Coronado through educational, civic and philanthropic services. We pledge our loyalty to the Junior Woman’s Club by doing better than ever before, what work we have to do, by being prompt, honest, courteous, by living each day trying to accomplish something, not merely to exist.
