At Alvord Baker, we believe in the power of community to create meaningful change. We are proud to collaborate with a charitable nonprofit organization, Resilience Across Borders (RAB), to foster mental health and resilience to underserved youth and schools. Founded by Dr. Mary Alvord, RAB is dedicated to increasing access to mental health interventions for children and adolescents who face barriers due to financial constraints or limited resources in their communities. Alvord Baker is pleased to collaborate with Resilience Across Borders by supporting several staff members who serve as fellows of this important organization. 

Through fundraising efforts, donations, and partnerships, RAB ensures that children who might not otherwise have access to mental health services are given the support they deserve. Their mission is rooted in the belief that every child, regardless of their background, should have the opportunity to thrive emotionally and socially.

Resilience Across Borders: Expanding Access to Mental Health

Resilience Across Borders works to bring the principles of our Resilience Builder Program® into schools across lower-resourced areas. By providing teacher training for the Resilience Builder Program-Universal and mental health resources, the program empowers educators to support their students' emotional growth and resilience.

Supporting the Community Through Engagement and Collaboration

Resilience Across Borders is guided by research, stakeholder input, and a commitment to inclusivity. By listening to the needs of the communities they serve, they continuously refine and expand programs to provide high-quality mental health interventions in an accessible manner. Through collaboration with schools and local organizations, they aim to make a lasting impact on the lives of children across the region.
