Overview
Mission
Nature is healing. We strive to encourage, support, uplift, and motivate each other. We are introducing Nature as an outlet to reduce stress in our daily lives, while also providing a support group. Since our inception, we have evolved to start offering workshops on Gun Violence, Domestic Violence and Suicide Prevention and beyond. Through our comprehensive workshops, we provide essential education, resources, and support to underserved communities. By fostering dialogue, and teaching coping skills and conflict resolution, we strive to create safer, more harmonious environments for all. We welcome men and women from all walks of life, setting aside religious beliefs and nationalities. Our common denominator is Love and our collective passion is to pray for one another, our communities and the Nation(s). We encourage everyone to take time out to be silent before the Water as MNI WICONI (Water is Life) which is a reoccurring phrase you will hear often in our dialogues.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our "Domestic Violence Prevention Programing" are targeted educational programs designed to address and reduce domestic violence through awareness, skill-building, and resource allocation. This workshop typically involves educational sessions that cover the dynamics of domestic violence, its psychological and physical effects, and legal rights and protections available to victims. Participants, including community members, professionals, and survivors, engage in skill-building activities such as safety planning, conflict resolution, and self-care strategies. The workshop also includes interactive elements like role-playing and group discussions to enhance understanding and application of prevention techniques. Resources are provided to connect individuals with support services such as shelters, counseling, and legal assistance. Follow-up actions and evaluations are conducted to assess the workshop's impact and effectiveness, ensuring ongoing support and improvement in strategies for preventing domestic violence.
