- Community-based for accessibility, community need-driven; and locally networked.
- Offer culturally-sustaining and trauma-informed practices, building on existing strengths, protective factors, social supports, and cultural resources.
- Create interprofessional internships and practicums for SJSU students.
- Bridge physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional domains.
