Purpose
After the Rain is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization driven by the belief that mental wellness is a right, not a privilege. Our purpose is to create a more connected, informed, and compassionate community by providing accessible, trauma-informed mental health support—with a focus on equity, inclusion, and lasting impact.
​
In partnership with Serenity Therapeutic Counseling & Addiction Services, LLC, we are committed to:
​
Providing Accessible Mental Health Services
We offer low-cost or free therapy, support groups, and mental health workshops, ensuring that individuals and families—especially those from underserved or marginalized communities—have access to the care they need. Our services are culturally sensitive, client-centered, and rooted in evidence-based practices.
​
Reducing Stigma and Empowering Individuals
Through community outreach, psychoeducation, and storytelling, we work to break down stigma surrounding mental health and substance use. Our goal is to empower individuals to seek help, share their experiences, and support one another with compassion and understanding.
​
Creating a Community Hub for Resources & Referrals
We serve as a centralized, welcoming space where individuals can not only receive care, but also connect with local resources, referral partners, and support networks. Together with Serenity Therapeutic, we strive to remove barriers and streamline access to care for those navigating complex systems.
​
Training in Trauma-Informed Care & Resilience
We provide workshops and professional development for educators, youth workers, healthcare providers, and community members—equipping them with practical tools to respond to trauma with empathy and effectiveness. These trainings strengthen the broader safety net that surrounds individuals in need.
​
Advancing Mental Wellness Through Advocacy
We are passionate about systemic change. Through advocacy efforts, public awareness campaigns, and educational initiatives, we aim to influence policies, inspire community action, and promote a society where mental health is prioritized and protected for all.
At After the Rain, we understand that healing is not linear—and that no one should have to walk their journey alone. Our purpose is to be a source of hope, connection, and resilience for every person we serve, rain or shine.
