The St. Paul’s Family Counseling Center is now Amanecer Counseling & Resource Center (ACRC). Amanecer provides bilingual, trauma-informed, culturally responsive mental health counseling and resources to the community including supervision and training to mental health providers. Their focus is about the people they strive to help. Children, parents, caregivers (including grandparents raising their grandkids), adults, the elderly and families. ACRC is a human services organization serving a mainly Hispanic and impoverished community in Wilmington, Delaware.
ACRC’s continuum of care consists of three program components:
1. Providing accessible and affordable bilingual, culturally competent counseling
2. Teaching critical parenting skills
3. Training teachers to integrate the “Healing with Love” model as part of their school curriculum.
Combined, these program components have a direct and long-lasting impact on children, adults, and families challenged with mental and/or behavioral health issues; parents/caregivers who realize the importance of being a solid, caring and loving role-model, and teachers/educators who understand that outside the family, they are the single most important person and the “conduit” for these children.
