Workshops for Healing and Empowerment
At SAMA, we believe in the power of community, creativity, and self-care to help survivors heal and thrive. Our workshops are designed to provide a safe and supportive space where participants can explore mindfulness, creative expression, and connection. Whether through yoga, crafting, or self-reflection, our events offer a nurturing environment to recharge, find inner peace, and foster personal growth. Each workshop is an opportunity to embrace healing while connecting with others on similar journeys.
SAMA’s Mission
SAMA’s workshops are an extension of our commitment to advocating for mental health awareness and supporting survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. These events empower participants with tools for self-care, stress relief, and creative expression, all while building a community of resilience and understanding. By offering spaces for healing and personal growth, we’re not only addressing immediate needs but also helping to break the cycle of silence and stigma. Every workshop supports SAMA’s broader mission of fostering long-term healing and advocating for policy changes that uplift survivors and improve mental health care.
