The African American Youth Harvest Foundation was recently featured in an Austin Free Press story highlighting the work of the Harvest Trauma Recovery Center and its role in supporting survivors of violence across the Austin area.

The article, written by Claudia Kolker, explores how Harvest TRC provides free individual and group therapy, case coordination, and access to essential wraparound supports such as housing, transportation, food assistance, youth resources, and legal guidance. The story also highlights the leadership of Dr. Calvin A. Kelly, Chief Clinical Officer of Harvest TRC, and Michael Lofton, founder and CEO of the African American Youth Harvest Foundation.

This feature reflects AAYHF’s continued commitment to serving youth, families, and communities through culturally responsive, trauma-informed care. By addressing trauma as a public health issue and connecting survivors with practical, emotional, and clinical support, Harvest TRC helps create pathways toward healing, stability, and long-term community well-being.
