The founders of the Mixed Behavior Foundation, Alonzo and Sasha, have incredibly similar backgrounds. Both of them grew up during the 80s and 90s, a time when the drug epidemic deeply affected communities across much California. Consequently, they have endured extensive traumas associated with that era.
Their childhoods were marred by drug addiction, domestic violence, suicide, physical and mental abuse, incarceration, abandonment, and various forms of child endangerment and violence. However, these experiences merely scratch the surface of the hardships they faced as children and young adults.
Despite the immense challenges they encountered, Alonzo and Sasha's ability to persevere has become the driving force behind their desire to support young people struggling with mental health issues. Moreover, they are dedicated to providing services that assist families and adults facing significant challenges in transforming their lives.
Recognizing the importance of addressing the obstacles they personally encountered during their youth, they have placed a strong emphasis on developing programs that promote overall well-being.
Why we Started
Mixed Behavior Foundation - Our Story and Purpose
Mixed Behavior Foundation was founded in October 2020 by Alonzo and Sasha Jackson, who drew inspiration from their blended family of eight. Recognizing the profound challenges of mental health, particularly during the pandemic, and the pressing need for youth and family support in the inner city, they embarked on a mission to make a difference.
Driven by a deep desire to address the prevailing stigmas surrounding mental health within the community, Alonzo and Sasha were determined to create a unique organization that would offer comprehensive assistance. They envisioned a program that would empower individuals to overcome obstacles and thrive.
With a strong focus on supporting youth and families throughout California, Mixed Behavior Foundation was born. Our organization is committed to providing a range of resources, guidance, and advocacy to help individuals navigate the complexities of mental health. By fostering an environment of understanding, acceptance, and empowerment, we aim to break down barriers and promote holistic well-being.
Through collaborative efforts, community engagement, and innovative initiatives, Mixed Behavior Foundation strives to create lasting change. We believe that by addressing mental health challenges head-on, we can positively impact the lives of individuals and families, fostering resilience, healing, and growth.
