Who we are

The HEARRT Program was created out of a shared vision: to respond to the growing mental health needs of youth and families in our communities while reducing barriers to care. Many schools and families across the Inland Empire face challenges such as limited access to counseling, rising rates of trauma and stress, and the urgent need for restorative, culturally grounded approaches to discipline and wellness.

HEARRT began in Rialto as a collaboration of schools, mental health professionals, and community-based organizations. Together, we saw the need for a program that not only provides direct services but also builds school-wide capacity for healing and equity. What started as a local initiative has grown into a regional effort to make schools and communities safer, healthier, and more connected.

Our Mission

The Healing, Empowering, and Restoring Relationships Together (HEARRT) Program exists to strengthen the mental health, resilience, and success of students, families, and schools across the Inland Empire. We provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed care and restorative practices that heal harm, empower communities, and renew hope. By connecting schools and families with trusted providers and community partners, HEARRT ensures that every child has access to the support they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

We serve:

  • Students in elementary, middle, and high schools who need individual or group support to manage stress, trauma, or behavioral challenges.

  • Families seeking counseling, workshops, or connections to community resources.

  • Educators & Schools looking for professional development, restorative practices training, or in-classroom SEL (social emotional learning) support.

  • Communities throughout the Inland Empire, working together to create safe and affirming environments where youth can thrive.

At HEARRT, we believe that healing is not just an individual process but a collective one. By investing in schools, families, and communities, we are creating a network of support that empowers the next generation and renews the spirit of our region.
