As part of CHRIS 180’s mission to heal children, strengthen families and build community, the Westside Empowerment Center (WEC) opened in 2019 to extend access to behavioral health services and trauma-informed care to Westside residents. The center provides individual and family therapy for children and adults, couples counseling, and individualized treatment approaches. The goal of the Westside Empowerment Center is to make counseling and wraparound services more accessible, to equip more families with the tools and resources to cope with challenging and difficult situations.
