L.A. CADA was honored to participate in the 2026 Enhanced Alternative Custody Programs Summit, hosted by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).

We remain committed to reducing barriers to community reintegration and improving social determinants of health—because real change happens when individuals are supported with dignity, respect, and opportunity.

For over a decade, L.A. CADA has supported reentry through the Female Community Reentry Program (FCRP), equipping women with tools and resources for successful reintegration. We’ve also expanded services through the Community Prisoner Mother Program (CPMP), providing family-centered support for women and children—recognizing that lasting change often begins with strengthening families.

Honoring Black History Month at L.A. CADA

This Black History Month, L.A. CADA stands in recognition of Black resilience, leadership, and the powerful impact Black communities continue to have in shaping our world. We also take time to acknowledge an important truth: mental health is deeply connected to history.

For generations, Black individuals and families have carried the weight of historical trauma rooted in slavery, segregation, and systemic racism—trauma that continues to affect wellness today. Research shows that long-term stress and oppression can have lasting impacts on the mind and body, increasing vulnerability to anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges.

This month is a reminder that healing is both personal and collective. It’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to seek support. And it’s okay to prioritize your peace.

Take time for self-care
Lean on trusted community spaces
Use positive coping strategies like journaling, music, movement, prayer, or rest
Step away from overwhelming media and focus on what brings you strength

If you or someone you love is experiencing mental health challenges, L.A. CADA is here to help.
Call us at (562) 906-2676 for support and resources.
