About Us

Who We Are & What We Stand For

Triad Exchange, as a community organization, is dedicated to fortifying families and communities by offering innovative solutions. Our services are specifically tailored for families and youth residing in marginalized communities. We facilitate creative opportunities through nature and the arts, aiming to aid in the growth and healing of youth and families. Currently, we provide two creative expression programs: The Urban Bloom Program and The Urban Lyricist Program. These programs allow participants to explore their identities and emotions in a safe and supportive environment, thereby enhancing their self-esteem, improving their communication skills, and offering a constructive outlet for stress and anxiety.
The Urban Lyricist Program extends health and healing support to youth who have endured deaths and traumatic losses. It encourages youth to reflect on high-risk behaviors, such as acting out, involvement in the legal system, rebellion, promiscuity, and rage, as well as their experiences of loss. The program evaluates the risk of youth becoming victims, offenders, or witnesses of violence. It incorporates conflict resolution, restorative practices, and strategies for behavioral change. Utilizing developmental principles, the program aims to enhance youth skills and abilities associated with positive outcomes in school and life. Additionally, it integrates enrichment activities, including educational outings, job readiness workshops, and leadership/mentorship opportunities.
At Urban Bloom, we offer a nature-based, healing environment for program participants affected by mental health issues. Whether through our specialized therapeutic garden, trips to parks, or tailored home sanctuaries, we are committed to improving mental health through the restorative power of nature. Urban Bloom provides ecotherapy services, a therapeutic practice that involves engaging with nature to alleviate stress and enhance well-being. Ecotherapy encompasses various techniques, including horticultural therapy, animal-assisted therapy, forest bathing, and walking meditation, sometimes combining several of these methods. With an increasing number of individuals affected by mental health challenges, holistic treatments such as ecotherapy offer an accessible practice that can significantly contribute to healing and growth. These ecotherapy programs are led by trained professionals and can be pursued alongside talking therapies or other clinical treatments.
