IMPACT OF COVID-19 …
Black and Latinx children have witnessed more illness and death during the pandemic than other kids. The mental health toll of Covid-19 is serious and likely long lasting. And as with other aspects of Covid-19, it is hitting communities of color the hardest. This pandemic has spotlighted racial and ethnic disparities in access to behavioral health care. Blacks and Latinos have substantially lower access to mental health and substance use treatment services.
Given the existing impediments to care for Blacks and Latinos due to social determinants of health, the COVID-19 pandemic will place those with behavioral health problems at even higher vulnerability. Blacks and Latinos have lower access to needed treatment and experience less culturally responsive care.
Black and Latinx children deserve a powerful response from all of us, clearly expressing that they are valued.

SUCCESS STORY
“Brookview helped me learn to communicate in English, recognized and nurtured my love of art. At first, I didn’t know how to speak English, and it was a big obstacle at school and in the community, so I needed to attend bilingual classes for two years. Now I go to regular classes; I have learned how to communicate in English very well. I joined the Teen Visionaries where I learned about domestic violence and tried photography for the first time. I also attended sculpture classes on Saturday mornings.” –Tania

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Damage from homelessness spreads outward, destroying lives, creating tragedies never imagined. School-age children and youth personify such a tragedy. The issue – homelessness – gets the attention, the children’s emotional needs are ignored…
ADULT SERVICES
Brookview has an impressive record of success. The agency has helped 92% of families in our program to leave the ranks of homelessness permanently. These numbers only tell part of the story….
