Our mental health is the foundation upon which we build every other facet of our lives. Albeit, it is stigmatized in the African community. IALAS is committed to helping students’ and parents’ discover and unleash their true potential. Every student will be evaluated for any severe adverse childhood events and paired with a therapist. Society should not expect to heal a child who is under the care of an adult who carries the traumatic burdens of her own childhood. IALAS exists to address the inter-generational trauma experienced by black and brown families, specifically students in the undeserved Wards 7& 8. We take the journey with our students to emotional self-regulation and social emotional wellness.
