A new year brings new opportunities to strengthen our community and care for one another in more informed, compassionate ways.

Mental Health First Aid is a two-part training that equips adults with practical skills to recognize signs of mental health and substance use challenges, respond with care during moments of crisis, and connect people to the support they need. It also emphasizes self-care, helping participants build habits that support their own well-being as the year unfolds.

Part 1 of the training takes place on January 24 from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm PST. To receive certification, participants must attend both sessions, with Part 2 happening on January 31. Each session is four hours, with a break to step away for lunch.

Open to adults 18 and older, this two-part training offers a meaningful way to begin the year with new tools, deeper understanding, and a shared commitment to supporting friends, family members, neighbors, and the wider community.

Registration is required. To sign up, please contact Kennya Rodriguez at krodriguez@momentumforhealth.org

Growing up surrounded by violence and pain, Rodney started experiencing mental health challenges, including paranoia and hallucinations, at a young age.

As an adult, he knew it was time to get help—not just to improve his own well-being, but also so that he could lead by example for his community.

Today, through his own dedication and the help of Momentum, Rodney feels like himself again. His main goal is clear: To inspire his children and entire family to seek help when they need it without the weight of stigma holding them back.

Help us support other amazing individuals like Rodney this giving season.

TW: This video mentions addiction.

After years of struggling with generational cycles of addiction, Stephanie came to our Parisi House on the Hill program in 2021–and now works there full-time!

Parisi House, which merged with Momentum in 2023, offers mothers like Stephanie a unique model for residential substance use treatment: Their children stay with them the whole time, offering moms a fresh start with plenty of resources and community and keeping kids out of the foster care system.

Today, Stephanie is raising two children with her partner, continuing her education, and helping other women transform their lives at the very place where she transformed hers.

Help us support other amazing individuals like Stephanie this giving season. Visit www.momentumforhealth.org/powerofmomentum to make a gift today!

In 2022, Santa Clara County officially declared a mental health crisis, driven by record increases in suicides and drug overdoses, a statewide shortage of behavioral health workers, and inadequate treatment facility beds.

That is why organizations like Momentum for Health are critical to the health and well-being of residents as it serves as the backbone of our community’s mental health network – providing treatment, crisis support, housing services, and compassionate care for people navigating some of life’s toughest challenges.

Thank you to Momentum’s staff for inviting my office to tour your facilities.

Yesterday, our grant partners at Kaiser Permanente visited our Parisi House on the Hill program to see the results of their generous funding in action. We were also thrilled to welcome Mariam Ghallab, District Intern from Senator Dave Cortese's office.

Grants from Kaiser Permanente have helped fund critical program support for Parisi House, including translation services and more.

Site visits like this offer an important opportunity to share the work happening on the ground, highlight the impact of our programs, and connect with community partners who help strengthen behavioral health services across Santa Clara County.

Thank you to our guests from Kaiser Permanente and Senator Cortese's office for taking the time to tour Parisi House and see firsthand the vital support it provides to mothers and children on their paths to healing and stability.
