We think that’s a pretty good thing to keep trending, don’t you? Additionally, the number “323” means alignment & purpose & if you add 3,2,3, it equals the number 8, which means “new beginnings”. That’s what we are all about.

323 provides spaces for conversations within our schools, families, and communities to learn therapeutic techniques & intervention strategies. We pride ourselves on working diligently to change the mental health stigma, specifically among minorities, and underserved communities. Opportunities to share experiences, receive resources, and low cost counseling gives tools for growth.

A major component of the 323 mission is to treat mental and emotional health concerns as preventative care, similar to required medical & dental care checkups. With suicide ranking among the leading causes of death, mental health awareness & daily self care is imperative.
