Prototypes, a part of HealthRIGHT 360, is dedicated to inspiring hope, health, and independence. They focus on rebuilding the lives of women, children, and communities affected by substance use, mental illness, and domestic violence. Their mission is to empower individuals towards self-sufficiency while providing safety and shelter for those in need. Established in 1986 by Vivian Brown, PhD, and Maryann Fraser, LCSW, MBA, Prototypes was created to revolutionize treatment for women and their children. Initially offering residential treatment in 1988, Prototypes has since expanded its services through various facilities in Southern California, impacting over 10,000 women, men, and children annually. Prototypes serves as a beacon of support for women struggling with addiction, domestic violence, and mental health challenges, especially those who are mothers facing difficult choices. Through a comprehensive approach and a team of dedicated professionals, Prototypes has emerged as a leading provider in behavioral healthcare, serving as a model for similar organizations nationwide.
