My name is Nordia Richards and I am an Enhanced Youth Outreach Worker at TAIBU Community Health Center. I specialize in supporting Black youth and their families navigating complex challenges, including mental health concerns, addiction, trauma, relationship violence, and involvement in the criminal justice system. My work focuses on addressing specific incidents and risk factors that may lead to conflict, such as those with school officials, peers, family, and/or the law. Through one-on-one counseling, I support Black youth in identifying their needs, goals, aspirations, and abilities. I also work to remove barriers to accessing services, including employment, peer support, and skill development programs.
