Institute Programs
The Hanna Institute partners with community members, advocates and organizations to design programs that address the root causes of trauma and mitigate its impacts and effects. Our approach is expansive: we bring together evidence-base frameworks with place-based community practices to create innovative and equity-centered interventions to build healing, shift power and break cycles of trauma and oppression.

HEAL
The HEAL program is a two-hour eight-session peer support program for high school students run by On the Margins in partnership with the Hanna Center and with funds from Elevate Youth California and the S.H. Cowell Foundation.
This program aims to engage in a collective generation of knowledge of what self and community care are, and to practice and disseminate healing strategies to high school youth. This is a space where high school students can learn how to be their fullest selves and experience wellness and connection.
The HEAL curriculum aspires to equip the youth with the essential tools and insights for personal and collective healing and to empower them to become leaders in their communities and create a more just and equitable society.
