The Center for Humanistic Change is a not-for-profit agency that gives people, especially youth, the knowledge and tools they need to make better-informed and more positive life choices. We encourage healthy decision-making, positive choices, and peaceful living. Our core business involves providing life skills training and prevention education, mentoring, training other trainers, and helping connect people to available community resources. We deliver evidence-based and custom-designed programs in schools, correctional facilities, neighborhoods, and workplaces.  We serve people of all ages such as students, counselors, parents, social service providers, teachers, administrators, and others interested in personal growth and development. CHC’s educational philosophy is based on a holistic learning model known as humanistic education, which seeks to engage people intellectually, emotionally, and behaviorally.  We believe that people are inherently good and have the potential to live fulfilling lives.  We also believe that, given the right tools, individuals can make positive choices and positive changes in their lives, have healthy relationships, and avoid destructive behaviors such as substance abuse, dependence, and violence.
