Relocating. Collaborating. Expanding Services.

Sandy Schoolfield and Jon Kechejian generously donated a $25,000 lead gift for the relocation and expansion of New Beginnings’ new, south county collaborative center.

About New Beginnings

New Beginnings Counseling Center (NBCC) is committed to strengthening our community. Our mission is to provide our clients with the ability to lead healthy and productive lives through our Counseling Clinic, our Life Skills Parenting and Education Program, our Safe Parking and Rapid Re-Housing Program and our Supportive Services for Veterans Families Program.

We are dedicated to advocating for a just and equitable world. We are all deeply affected by the recent events that are now calling upon all of us to step forward and re-commit ourselves to efforts against racism, inequality, inequity and violence.

 

Our Pledge:

  • NBCC is committed to serving our clients and community through culturally sensitive and trauma-informed services.
  • NBCC is committed to advancing community and policy discussions that work to create equitable systems and opportunities for all people.
  • NBCC is committed to honoring and protecting human dignity and to supporting the rights of all people to have the opportunity to thrive and flourish.
