Our Programs & Services
​Family Mankind™ takes a client-centered approach to support children and families by providing them with the tools & resources necessary for stabilization and growth. We help our clients(Family Members) in the following ways:
Survivor Sessions®
HELPING OTHERS HEAL & GROW FROM INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE
This peer to peer group therapy session deals with the trauma inflicted upon women. An important message within this group is that women have the right to define themselves and their experiences in ways that have meaning for them. These are individual survivors who have experienced violence and trauma, and have the strength to begin the journey of healing or are in a position to encourage and inspire newer individuals to the group. In the end, it’s important that peer supporters recognize and support each other’s way of expressing their experiences and talking about themselves as part of the healing process.
Homeless to Healing®
A Home Is Not A Home Where There Is No Love
We assist individuals, couples, and families impacted by the effects of domestic violence. In Mecklenburg, 28% of all individuals who are homeless are a result of fleeing for their or their families lives from an intimate partner, or they are the perpetrator with no permanent housing solution. The danger to a victim who survives this encounter is that they, and their children, will often stay in the cycle of abuse, while putting other family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, interveners, law enforcement, and parishioners in future potential violent encounters if they do not have a healthier and safer solution following the trauma of a domestic violent encounter.
The Butterfly Program
Family Mankind & Correctional Facilities Partner Holistically
Helping & Healing Returning Citizens...Not Handcuffing Them Forever!​
This re-entry & reform transitional program is purposefully designed to respectfully inspire, encourage, and build our returning citizens (RC) with the appropriate coping skills and life strategies and techniques to help them properly deal with relationships & situations that arise in their daily lives as they transition from incarceration to post-release. We are mentally beginning the process of preparing our incarcerated residents to effectively be transformed into equitable & mentally well returning citizens.
Family Man®
GIVING MEN LIFETIME SKILLSETS TO BE MORE THAN JUST A MAN
​
Our innovative, empathetic, non-judgmental flagship Lifetime Mental & Behavioral Health Management program that has literally saved lives and legacies. This one on one & peer to peer group therapy gets to the root cause of the violence. Our clients transform from societies’ perceived worst, to community treasures adding value to their families and communities.

The very best gift we can give the world is a MAN who loves himself enough to be the best version of himself and who no longer harms the individuals and community who loves him!
"BREAK" (Mentoring 14-24 Youth)
OUR YOUTH DESERVE A BETTER GUIDE IN LIFE FREE FROM VIOLENCE
The effects of trauma on our youth lasts a lifetime and generations following them. Our youth are internally harboring secrets such as domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, & bullying that often lead to deviant behavior, anxiety, PTSD, suicide, mass shootings, and homicide. They have been frontline witnesses and have been set-up to repeat the cycles of violence. We will develop & guide our participants by teaching coping skills and healthier life techniques that will "BREAK" generational cycles of violence!
Too Good For Drugs
Mecklenburg County ABC Board & Family Mankind™
Partner To Break Generational Cycles of Trauma
​Too Good for Drugs is a social and emotional learning program that teaches children to develop skills to make healthy choices and achieve success. This program was developed by the Mendez Foundation, a leader in K-12 educational programs. A universal K-12 prevention education program designed to mitigate the risk factors and enhance protective factors related to alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
Momentum for Mobility
There Is A Major Difference Between A Job And A Career
We invest in people! Ever wondered what it would be like to not be able to provide for yourself, family, or a vulnerable person relying on you to protect, house, feed, clothe, or nurture them? Some people must be provided the help to secure a career that pays a livable wage with benefits for healthcare and retirement purposes. We know firsthand the impact of developing economic opportunities that are not always provided to vulnerable populations, and as such, these individuals often pay a price suffering in silence as a victim or they perpetuate violence out of frustration or a need to provide. Careers empower individuals!
