The Power of Experience

The East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC) has offered, for over sixty-seven years, a wide variety of support programs for children in low-income communities who often don’t have access to emotional support services and other healing resources because of income. EBAC provides on-site counseling for students in forty-two public schools in the Bay Area as well as at their five family resource center locations (Fremont, Hayward, San Leandro, and two locations in Oakland). In addition, they have offered thirty-five years of grief services for many who have lost a loved one. Their grief services include facilitated peer support groups and ten-session “Resilient Parenting” courses for grieving families based on research and programs developed by Arizona State University and The National Alliance of Grieving Children. Their “Trauma Transformed” program helps various government and other outside organizations (probation, courts, etc.) do internal assessments as to which of that outside organization’s approaches are doing more harm than good and what practices are of greatest service to the wellbeing of society.
