ROCA INC = ROCK

"There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how you use them." - Friedrich Nietzsche. ROCA means ROCK and for 35 years they have been a relentless force for 17-24 year olds who have grown up with the stumbling blocks of urban violence and offered stepping stones to disrupt incarceration, poverty, and racism. Through their intervention model of CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, they teach these young people life-saving emotional skills that address their trauma, find hope and drive change. ROCA is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with additional sites in Springfield and Holyoke, MA, Hartford, CT, and Baltimore, Maryland. A recent CBS Sunday Morning feature shares a glimpse into ROCA Baltimore and the value of ROCA, who's motto is, 'we're in your world, we see the challenges you face'. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/in-baltimore-changing-minds-and-saving-lives/
