Mission Statement
The mission of Instituto Familiar de la Raza (IFR) is to promote and enhance the health and well-being of Chicanos/Latinos and multicultural/multiracial youth.
About This Cause
Instituto Familiar de la Raza oversees eight unique programs focused on addressing the needs of the Chicano/Latino/Indigena community in San Francisco. Focused on the emerging needs of our community's children, youth, adults, and families, IFR's programming incorporates integrated health concepts across traditional, conventional, and contemporary modalities. Our programs include: Casa Corazon: Casa Corazón grew out of the family resource system movement to ensure that families received a continuum of support and services to enhance the family resilience. In response to the needs of Chicano/Latino families in San Francisco, Instituto Familiar de la Raza and three other organizations established the Chicano/Latino Family Resource System. Sana Sana: The Early Intervention Program provides school-based & pre-school-based mental health consultation services to care providers of children. Sana Sana also provides SPARK community engagement with families with children 0-4 living in San Francisco's HOPE housing. Indigena Health and Wellness Collaborative: It is estimated that there are 10,000-15,000 Yucatec Mayans and other indigena living in San Francisco.
