Mission Statement
To enhance the health and wellness of our community by offering integrative natural health services focused on empowerment, healing, safety, and reducing barriers to access.
About This Cause
CORE El Centro is a non-profit agency focused on intervention, treatment, and prevention of physical and mental health issues serving low-income, underserved neighborhoods in Milwaukee with a community-oriented array of holistic services since 2002. Annually, the agency provides: 1) holistic natural therapies that treat disease and pain, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues to nearly 1,000 adults, including Health Navigation for approx. 600 clinic patients 2) health and wellness education and recreation to over 550 children and adults, and 3) outreach to 1,500 - 4,000 people in the interest of community connectedness, environmental health, and violence prevention. The three prongs of our programming have grown organically from insight into the needs of the community; together they represent a new, integrative approach to behavioral health and wellness. Our services provide relief and healing primarily to adults in crisis or suffering the long-term effects of trauma and violence. They also build a community around movement, gardening, and food that contribute to a family’s resiliency to stress, violence, and other health crises in their neighborhoods.
