Unity Care ends and prevents homelessness and poverty for youth aging out of foster care.

Unity Care offers a wide range of services benefiting at-risk and foster youth and their families throughout Northern California. Its signature program, established in 1993, focuses on serving the housing needs of youth in foster care and beyond. The organization’s mission has grown and expanded over the past two decades and, today, includes more than two dozen community-based, education and behavioral health programs, aiding approximately 7,620 underserved youth and families annually.

Seeking Safety is an evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment approach designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma, substance use disorders, or both.

The goal is to help people feel safe, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward healing and recovery.

Seeking Safety focuses on:
Safety: Creating emotional and physical safety.
🧠 Coping Skills: Learning healthy ways to manage stress, triggers, and difficult emotions.
🤝 Healthy Relationships: Building trust, setting boundaries, and asking for support.
🌱 Self-Care: Practicing self-compassion and making positive choices.
💙 Recovery: Addressing trauma and addiction together while building a healthier future.
Seeking Safety focuses on the present rather than requiring individuals to discuss painful details of past trauma. It can be used in individual or group settings.

A Journey of Culture, Creativity, and Leadership! 🌍✨

What began as an opportunity to explore culture and heritage turned into an exciting new chapter of leadership and personal growth!

A Unity Care client recently had the incredible opportunity to travel to Africa for two weeks with City College of San Francisco. During the trip, the client shared a powerful poem inspired by their heritage, using creativity and personal expression to celebrate their cultural roots.

Their words made a lasting impression and opened an unexpected door! Following the presentation, the client was offered a leadership position at another college in recognition of their poem.

This accomplishment highlights the power of embracing one's identity, sharing personal experiences, and having the courage to use one's voice.

At Unity Care, we are proud to celebrate the achievements of young people as they discover their strengths, embrace new opportunities, and continue building their futures.

One poem, one powerful voice, and a new opportunity to lead!

How Much Opioid Use Is Too Much? 💊

There is no single amount of opioid use that is “safe” for everyone. What may seem like a small amount can still carry risks.

Taking more than prescribed, using opioids longer than needed, needing more to get the same effect, or using opioids to cope with stress can all be warning signs.

If opioid use begins affecting everyday life, relationships, work, school, finances, or mental health, it may be time to ask for support.

💙 Know the signs. Know the risks. Ask for help.

A major milestone and one step closer to greater independence! 💙✨

When Pete entered Unity Care’s THP+ Program, he had only a photocopy of his photo identification. Originally from Guatemala, Pete has been working toward addressing his immigration status, and obtaining his official identification documents was an important part of moving forward.

His Unity Care Case Manager contacted the Guatemalan Consulate in San Francisco to learn what Pete would need to obtain his documents. Despite transportation challenges, Pete remained persistent. After securing a ride, his Case Manager met him at the consulate, where Pete successfully obtained his Guatemalan passport, birth certificate, and personal identification card. 🎉

This accomplishment means Pete can continue moving forward with his immigration case, work toward obtaining a California ID, and take steps toward opening a bank account.

Pete's persistence, along with the guidance and advocacy of his Case Manager, helped turn a barrier into an important milestone. We are proud of Pete and excited to see him continue building stability and independence for his future! 💙👏

Why do people start using opioids?

Opioid use can begin for many reasons. For some, it starts with pain management after an injury, surgery, or medical treatment. For others, stress, emotional struggles, social influence, curiosity, or the feelings of relief opioids can produce may play a role.

By understanding the different reasons behind opioid use, we can help reduce stigma and create more opportunities for people to seek support without fear of judgment.

💙 You’re not alone. Help and support are available. Reach out. We care.

A new chapter begins! ✨

One of our THP young adults is preparing to ship out for Marine Corps boot camp next month! This exciting milestone is a major step toward their goals of independence, career growth, housing stability, and education.

With the stability of transitional housing and continued support from Unity Care, they have been able to focus on building a path toward their future.

We’re proud to celebrate this next step and wish them success on the journey ahead! 💙🌟

Opioid Overdose Risk: Populations & Communities Most Affected

The opioid epidemic has changed and continues to impact people from many different backgrounds and communities.

Certain populations may experience increased risks because of health conditions, socioeconomic challenges, barriers to healthcare, or other circumstances. This includes young adults, veterans, justice-involved individuals, people who inject drugs, and communities experiencing disparities in access to care.

Education, prevention, treatment, naloxone availability, and harm reduction services can all play an important role in saving lives.

Together, we can raise awareness, reduce stigma, and connect people with support. 💙

A new home and a new chapter. 🏡💙

When Taianna entered the program, she was a mother of two experiencing housing instability and couch surfing while working toward a more permanent future for her family.

As a former foster youth, she had already overcome many barriers. She had also taken an important step toward housing stability by securing a housing voucher. However, one major challenge remained: covering the first month’s rent and security deposit needed to move into a home.

With advocacy from her CASA worker, Taianna connected with Unity Care and began working closely with her Case Manager. Week after week, she showed up, stayed engaged, completed the necessary documentation, and continued searching for housing that would meet her family’s needs.

Our Housing Assistance helped her navigate the housing process, coordinate documentation, address barriers, and secure financial assistance for her move-in costs.

And then came the moment she had been working toward: Taianna and her children moved into their own home! 🔑✨

Her journey is a reminder of what can happen when determination is met with the right resources and support. Taianna and her children now have a stable place to call home and an opportunity to build their next chapter together.

Congratulations, Taianna! We are proud to have been part of your journey. 💙

Understanding why opioid use begins is an important part of prevention and awareness.

Opioid misuse may begin with managing physical pain or coping with mental health challenges. Continued use can affect the brain’s reward system, increase tolerance, and eventually lead to dependency.

By increasing awareness and understanding the factors that contribute to opioid misuse, we can help reduce stigma and encourage individuals to seek support when they need it.

At Unity Care, we believe education and community awareness are important steps toward prevention and healthier communities.

Hard work, determination, and support can create new opportunities. 🩵✨

When Malaki connected with Unity Care, he was navigating the challenge of housing, rent, and finding consistent employment. Through Unity Care’s program, he received support that helped ease some of that financial pressure while he focused on building greater stability.

Malaki remained committed to finding full-time employment. His Unity Care Case Manager supported him with mock interviews, employment preparation, encouragement, and accountability along the way. 💼💪

That hard work paid off! 🎉 Malaki recently accepted a full-time position at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. He will spend his first two months training with the culinary team, with the opportunity to continue growing into a future kitchen management role. 🌊📋

This accomplishment is an exciting step toward greater independence and stability. We are proud of Malaki’s perseverance and can’t wait to see where this new chapter takes him! 🩵👏
