Rise Up & Walk

GOAL

Our goal is to aid children in learning to articulate and communicate their personal experiences of grief and trauma in order to provide them with the best plan of action of supportive healing towards their overall development. By giving youth the tools to help them express their feelings it will help them to become aware of who they are by recognizing their own experiences and the experiences of others.
