JABALI PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

The Jabali Program, funded by the Department of Public Health, is a comprehensive initiative with three main focus areas: Substance Use and Overdose Community Presentations, Risk of Substance Use Disorders or Fatal Overdoses Outreach, and Community Holistic Health Educators Training. The program serves individuals and organizations supporting Black/African American families, substance use populations, and service providers. It also engages Black community members, educators, and care providers in developing curricula for holistic health education. The primary goal of the Jabali Program is to reduce racial disparities in drug overdose deaths in San Francisco by building capacity within Black-led community-based organizations and systems of care.


By collaborating with Black-led movements and community networks, the program focuses on combating systemic racism and saving lives within the Black/African American community. This initiative represents a crucial first step in mobilizing resources to address inequities and develop sustainable, long-term solutions.


JABALI YOUTH ADVOCACY PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

Jabali Youth Advocacy Program Is a youth-led initiative designed to amplify young voices on issues of substance abuse and prevention. This program empowers youth leaders, ages 14-17, including those who are African American, low-income, LGBTQQ, under-housed, academically underperforming, or disconnected from school. Additionally, it supports youth exposed to violence, abuse, trauma, or those facing mild to severe mental and behavioral health challenges. Through skill-building activities, the program helps participants refine their personal stories, develop effective messaging platforms, and advocate for youth perspectives in the substance use conversation. By fostering leadership and action, the Healing SF Youth Advocacy Committee aims to address substance use challenges in San Francisco and promote the well-being of at-risk and system-involved youth.
