A Message from our CEO

January 2025

Dear friends, 

I hope this email finds you well.

I am thrilled to share that StarVista was recently featured on The Balancing Act Local Edition San Francisco with Montel Williams! The Balancing Act is a morning TV show that features health and wellness topics in a local setting. Our Daybreak transitional housing program was spotlighted for its ability to help youth transition into housing and gain the skills they need to live independently. I want to give a huge shout-out to our incredible Daybreak team whose work continues to shine. Check out our segment on YouTube to see our leadership team and previous Daybreak clients share their stories here.

I would like to invite you to join me at StarVista’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, “Celebrating Change,” for our new headquarters on Thursday, March 6, 2025. This event marks a new chapter in our organization, increasing accessibility to our services and ensuring our sustainability and excellence. In honor of the success of our move and our recent Changing Lives event, we are excited to combine our open house with our Cheers for Changing Lives event on March 6, 2025 at Celebrating Change. Join us for a tour of our new facility and enjoy drinks and appetizers along with live music and guest speakers. You can RSVP for the event here. I hope to see you there!

Additionally, I invite you to help families in need this holiday season by making a donation to fund our nearly 25 counseling, case management, skill development, and crisis prevention programs. Your generosity helps individuals navigate a variety of challenges they face. This year, we highlighted Mark, a client of our new Bringing Families Home program, and his family as they were able to go from living in their vehicle to securing housing thanks to our program. You can read (and listen to) Mark’s story and make a donation on our Holiday Campaign page here.

I wish you and your loved ones a safe and wonderful new year.

Warm Regards,

Sara Larios Mitchell, Ph.D., MACP

CEO
