Based in Oakland, BRL is comprised of a diverse team of mental health professionals, educators and community artists. BRL strives to address the psychosocial needs of youth of color in a manner that build upon their strengths, embraces their cultural expressions and empowers them to become agents of change and advocates in their community and beyond.

Instead of taking a top-down approach, we work to partner with our youth to developed projects and programs that draw directly from youth culture in an effort to make behavioral health services more useful and meaningful.
