We provide culturally responsive, anti-oppressive mental health and substance use disorder treatment, support, and prevention services to children, youth, and families who are working through the effects of systemic racism, trauma, poverty, abuse, neglect, or other mental health needs. The majority of our families live at the Federal poverty level, and our work supports them to prevent houselessness, generational poverty, future family traumas, and other hardships that impact our communities. Positive outcomes of Morrison's programs include reductions in substance use challenges, improvements in life skills and satisfaction, and increased social and academic successes. By addressing race equity first, we address all other forms of oppressions, resulting in equitable outcomes for all clients. As we provide support and services for children and families working through the effects of trauma, we also acknowledge the trauma inflicted on people of color through systemic racism. Morrison seeks to create and sustain an approach that positively impacts our community as a whole.
