Overview

Mission

The heart of our mission is to empower, equip, educate, and employ girls to reach their full potential and break the generational cycle of sexual abuse and inappropriate touch in our communities. During this fiscal year, we were successful with the help of one school partnership, 23 dedicated volunteers, including seven mental health professionals. Every number represents a story of resilience.

What it reported doing in 2024

Empowerment Through Education: Mentorship Classes & Meetings, Community Connection / Gatherings, Healing Spaces, Mental Health Training. Our Mental Health and Trauma-Informed Care Mentorship program is dedicated to providing crucial support for young individuals who have experienced sexual abuse and other traumatic events. Through this initiative, we aim to prevent future harm and facilitate the healing and restoration process for these vulnerable youths. Our mentors are trained to offer specialized guidance, understanding, and resources to help participants navigate their trauma, build resilience, and regain a sense of control over their lives. By fostering a safe and supportive environment, we empower these young individuals to overcome their past experiences and move forward towards a brighter and healthier future. This fiscal year, we partnered with one school and 218 attendees participated in our community gatherings, workshops, and healing spaces. We facilitated seven mentorship meetings (classes), equipping girls with tools to set boundaries, build confidence, and embrace their worth. Seven mental health professionals volunteered with Dearly Beloved to provide trauma-informed care and resources, five volunteers were newly certified to provide youth mental health and crisis support and we facilitated nine community mental health referrals.
