about Trinity Boston Connects

On June 12, 2020, Boston’s Mayor declared racism a public health crisis. In April 2021, the CDC declared racism a serious public health threat. Youth of color in Boston face systemic barriers and inequities at every turn: in education, healthcare and more. Structural racism is statistically deadly for youth of color and simultaneously creates deep emotional and psychological harm impacting academic and life outcomes.

TBC exists to heal the traumatic impact of system racism. We must heal hearts and minds and change behaviors for all involved in the ‘village’ that it takes to raise our children. We must work not only with the youth of color who experience the trauma, but also the systems within which they live and the youth workers with whom they interact.

We use a proven integrated model that fosters healing communities with caring adults rooted in racial equity, restorative justice and trauma-inclusive care practices. Our unique approach is three-pronged. We offer youth development and leadership programs, organizational change training and consulting, and clinical care and wellness services.
