About ASU OCHER
Our MISSION
ASU’s Office of Community Health, Engagement, and Resiliency’s (ASU OCHER) mission is to co-create interventions with communities that focus on inherent strengths and assets that promote resiliency, especially with historically-excluded and minoritized communities, in order to create or strengthen pathways of opportunity for all people to achieve their full potential. ASU OCHER houses the Center for Resilient Communities, a SAMHSA-funded center that is part of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), and the only NCTSN center in the country that is focused on training Community Health Workers in interventions that address toxic and traumatic stress.

Our VISION
As such, we are deeply embedded in communities to promote health, well-being, and resiliency hand-in-hand with our community partners. Our work aims to build community capacity and solve complex social problems through partnership in order that we are all stronger, communities are empowered, and together we achieve positive social change.
