Harmony At Home strives to end the cycles of violence and abuse by empowering children, young adults, and their families with the skills and confidence to lead healthy, productive lives.
Every child and family deserves to experience strength, resilience, healing, and life. So, Harmony At Home’s suite of trauma-informed programs, reaching 30,000, is easily accessible through schools, youth-serving organizations, or in the community.

•Bullying Prevention – Our school-wide model embeds staff, student-led assemblies, and educator training, fostering a positive climate rooted in safety and empathy.

Harmony At Home supports children, teens, and families across all four corners of Monterey County. For the 2025-26 program year, we expect to partner with up to 30,000 through long-standing partnerships with at least 50 schools and youth-serving organizations, including Boys & Girls Clubs and Rancho Cielo Youth Campus.

•Sticks & Stones® Counseling to up to 950 K–12 students, referred due to trauma, emotional distress, or behavioral concerns.
•Family First, supporting 95–110 pregnant and parenting youth and their 95-110 infants/children.
•Children 1st, serving up to 250 families navigating high-conflict separation or divorce.
•Bullying Prevention & Trauma-Informed Classrooms, benefiting up to 30,000 students and 650 educators annually across dozens of campuses.
•Plus, through community advocacy campaigns like Pink Shirt Day and Rainbow Connections, we foster inclusion, resilience, and healing.
When I first joined the program, it was really hard—I didn’t know how to express my feelings, and it was nerve-wracking. But once I gave it a chance, I felt so relieved. I felt cared for—like someone finally understood me. I learned how to stay positive and how to communicate better, which will help me in the future. I want to be a nurse or a counselor someday, and now I feel ready to support others the way this program supported me.
