PROGRAMS
“Outgrowing The Pain” is a community-based adolescent program which addresses domestic violence, teen dating violence and the connection to other ills that prey on our community and further perpetuate the intergenerational cycles of violence and poverty in our community.
“Growing Pains” is a program for pregnant and/or parenting teens who are trying to pursue their educational and career goals. The program addresses the impact of past trauma and domestic violence on their decisions, and the effects on their children.

This program addresses emotional healing from past trauma, and domestic violence education, cultural identity, economic empowerment, and creative expression for women.
