Our goal at Anicca is to create a caring community of adults and peers where youth have the opportunity to learn about, explore, and find healthy ways to respond to their mental health struggles allowing them to increase their daily functioning and continue moving toward their life goals.

Anicca [uh-knee-kuh] represents change and impermanence, serving as a reminder that change is possible.

By supporting and teaching teens, we enhance their social, emotional, and academic skills while strengthening their confidence and competency, making it possible for them to function more effectively in their homes, schools, and communities.
