WESTSIDE BACK ON TRACK COLLABORATIVE

The Westside ICYF Back on Track Collaborative partners with Third Baptist Church of San Francisco to provide integrated mental health support to program participants. Recognizing that emotional readiness is foundational to academic engagement, the Westside team facilitates mental health and wellness sessions prior to scheduled tutoring, helping youth arrive focused, regulated, and prepared to learn.

Group sessions incorporate social-emotional learning, emotional regulation and coping strategies, stress management, mindfulness practices, trauma-informed engagement, and mental health education — all designed to build resilience and support participants' overall well-being. For youth who may benefit from additional support, the program also provides individualized services, including one-on-one check-ins, brief supportive counseling, emotional regulation coaching, crisis stabilization, and referrals to community resources as needed.

WESTSIDE AJANI PROGRAM

The Westside Ajani Program is a comprehensive, multi-service behavioral health initiative designed to build emotional wellness in children, youth, and families living in low-income communities. Grounded in a systems-based treatment model, the program brings together a multidisciplinary team of licensed clinicians, registered associates, educators, and early childhood specialists to evaluate and support children and families from multiple perspectives — spanning case management, psychopharmacological care, and psychotherapeutic intervention.

Westside Ajani provides both clinic-based and community-based services, including outpatient mental health treatment, school-based mental health services, consultation, and outreach. A defining strength of the program is its capacity to meet children and youth where they are — in schools, childcare centers, community centers, recreation centers, and group homes. The program maintains referral linkages with mental health providers, probation, health services, the Department of Human Services, and other community partners to ensure families receive coordinated, accessible care.

At its core, Westside Ajani works to help families understand healthy family dynamics, build community responsibility, and address the compounding impacts of mental illness and structural racism on family well-being.
