This program serves individuals of all backgrounds, and brings focused expertise to uplift Black birthing people through services that are reflective of their cultural identity and lived experiences. BBHIs innovative model of care includes: (1) accessible and free services, (2) services provided in physical spaces that are designed to feel non-medical and welcoming, diligently avoiding the replication of clinical or oppressive environments, (3) extension of services from pregnancy and throughout infancy and childhood up to the age of three, and (4) utilization of Afri-centric and community-based models of healing that are intentionally culturally congruent.Community Holistic Overdose Prevention Program (CHOPP): CHOPP is designed to integrate outreach and awareness, education and training, and peer-based and direct treatment activities to prevent substance use disorder (SUD) and save lives in San Francisco.
