Amplify Community Resources

About Us

Amplify Community Resources (ACR) improves mental and social well-being in marginalized communities by providing accessible and inclusive services to youth and families. Through forward-thinking programs like the Teen Talk Dialogue Sessions (TTDS) and the Amplify Community Wellness initiative, ACR addresses pressing mental health needs, promotes emotional resilience, and enables communities to flourish.

Since its inception, ACR has reached over 3,000 individuals, providing them with support and guidance to improve mental health outcomes, reduce stigma, and cultivate a sense of community. Our Teen Talk program has directly connected with youth from underserved areas, helping them build emotional intelligence, conflict resolution skills, and financial literacy, all while fostering a sense of self-worth and purpose. In addition, our mindfulness and wellness initiatives have empowered adults and youth alike to take charge of their mental health, resulting in more resilient families and communities.

ACR’s work is rooted in cultural competence, ensuring that the diverse populations we serve feel understood and supported. Our vision for South Florida and beyond is to drive enduring progress in our communities. That's why we partner with schools, community organizations, law enforcement agencies, and local governments to deliver sustainable, meaningful programs that address the growing mental health crisis in our nation.
