Our Imprint
Our Method
- Awareness and Advocacy: TCPSE strives to raise awareness about the challenges faced by underserved and under-resourced communities. By doing so, we encourage individuals and organizations to take action and advocate for positive change.
- Assistance and Support: TCPSE not only highlights the issues but also provides practical assistance to communities in need. This includes various forms of support, such as mental health treatment, housing, financial aid, access to resources, or educational programs.
- Well-being Focus: TCPSE recognizes that well-being encompasses mental, physical, and financial aspects. Our mission is holistic in nature, aiming to improve the overall quality of life for the individuals we serve.
- Connector of Resources: As a “connector of people to viable and necessary resources,” TCPSE plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between those in need and the resources available to them. This is often a key element in creating positive and lasting change.
- Community Building: By bringing communities together, TCPSE fosters a sense of unity and collaboration among residents. Strong communities can often more effectively address their unique challenges and work towards their common goals.

Breaking Down Barriers by Empowering Communities
TCPSE uses trusted community leaders to be a voice for the forgotten, unseen, and those hiding in plain sight. Our Hairapy Coalition builds upon the deep-rooted trust relationships and trust of barbers, stylists, faith-based leaders and community leaders to raise awareness of issues and concerns in our communities and how it affects their mental, physical and economic well-being.
This program provides our Hairapists with:
-Mental Health Awareness and Advocacy training
-Maternal, Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid certifications
-Suicide Prevention training
-Housing Referral Services
-Financial Wellness
-Youth Empowerment
Our community partners are equipped with tools on how to respond to challenges and crisis, refer clients to vetted resources and provide a safe place for each other.
TCPSE promises to help bridge the gaps by building networks of trusted community partnerships and resources throughout underserved, under resourced and underrepresented communities. Our Navigation and Care Coordination, Youth Empowerment, Money Mastery II Financial Wellness and Housing Resource programs open the doors and give access to other healthcare, education, housing and financial partners for individuals and families.
