The Best Intentions brand is a joint community offering from Women In Transition Re-Entry Project and YYW Services
Our shared commitment is embodied in our motto: Think. Feel. Grow.
Women In Transition Re-Entry Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization guided by a simple belief: every person who is returning home, rebuilding, or starting over deserves dignity, support, and a real path forward. Our motive is community, not profit. We meet individuals and families where they already are and walk alongside them as they rebuild stability, wellness, and hope.
Together, we deliver three primary services:
Community Health • Behavioral Health • Peer Support
think. Feel. Grow.
Peer Support & Community Health Workers
Practical help from people who understand. Our Peer Support Specialists and Community Health Workers help individuals and families navigate housing, benefits, Medi-Cal services, and re-entry, connecting them to the right care and walking beside them every step.
When behavioral health concerns come up, our licensed clinicians are here too, offering therapy and counseling that stays connected to the support you already trust.
Leadership rooted in community.
Lived experience brings a kind of understanding that cannot be taught in a classroom. When the people offering support have walked similar roads, they recognize what others are facing, speak with honesty and without judgment, and offer genuine hope that change is possible, one step at a time.
That shared understanding builds trust. People are more likely to reach out, stay engaged, and keep moving forward when they see themselves in the people walking beside them. By pairing lived experience with professional training, we offer care that is skilled, compassionate, and deeply human.

Our Story
Built by Community, for Community: Think. Feel. Grow.
Best Intentions Peer Services was built by and for the communities we serve. As a certified Medi-Cal Community-Based Organization (CBO) and Los Angeles County Social Enterprise (SE), we work alongside YYW Services, our clinical care partner, to bring peer support, community health work, and licensed behavioral health care together in one connected continuum that addresses the social determinants of health and closes gaps in care.
Our mission is not only to deliver life-changing services but also to create a sustainable ecosystem that bridges gaps in care and uplifts entire communities.
