New! Releasing Resiliency: National Community Resiliency Project Video

 

The CSC’s blog site. Read about our National Community Resiliency Project and expanding work in the Mississippi Delta

 

We teach parents, educators, youth-service workers, communities and organizations how to engage the innate resilience—the human capacity for learning, creativity, compassion, common sense and well-being—in the youth they teach and care for, and, as importantly, in themselves … to become wise and loving role models for our children.

 

The Center’s work is built on three decades of successfully applying a Principles-based/innate health psychology to communities and schools across the nation. We see an understanding of the principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought as the "essential curriculum" for students, educators, caregivers and parents.

 

Understanding these Principles will assist our younger generations to most rapidly shed insecurity, fear, and the biases and prejudices of the past; and to more fully harness their innate goodness, creativity and wisdom …to create a world of unforeseen possibility and sustainable change.

 

 

The Center’s primary activities include:

 

  • Organizational training and consulting.

  • Leadership and learning retreats, and phone consults for individuals and organizational leaders.

  • Corporate wellness programs.

  • Producing materials for the fields of education, youth services and parenting, as well as community revitalization.

  • Producing articles, educational outreach on the Principles, speaking engagements.

  • Designing and implementing research.

 



Money Burning Holes in Your Pockets?

Take a load off! Give some to the CSC!

 

We are currently in the midst of an "emergency" fundraising campaign. Our goal: to raise $50,000 in the next two months, in order to leverage $400,000 in potential foundation monies.

Your donation now will support 3 Principles programs in Palo Alto, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. These local programs include suicide prevention, “growing” family resiliency, and work with San Francisco youth “at promise.” Better yet, your donation will help the CSC to obtain much more for work in inner-city and impoverished communities in North Carolina and the Mississippi Delta—including Louisiana and Arkansas. Can you help to support our work increasing resiliency and mental health in these areas? Your donation today will be multiplied many-fold.

 

To make a donation online, please use the Donate button below. Or call the Center at (650) 424-0705, x. 20 to make a donation over the phone, or to learn more about our projects and programs. We accept donations via Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express
