Our Impact
Vision Towards Peace began years ago with a quest for generational wellness when founder Erica Givner took her first Social Work class at the Community College of Allegheny County. Her commitment to combat the stereotypical stigma attached to African American’s seeking mental health wellness has remained undeterred. Her goal has always been to serve the community in which she was raised.
