Summary: Support for abused women and children in minority groups through seminars, workshops and therapy sessions
Abuse and isolation can lead to not only threats to the women's physical safety but also psychological disorders. Similarly, children in immigrant families face different challenges at home and outside which may impact their mental health severely. Members of minority groups are the worst sufferers who cannot seek assistance due to hesitation and lack of finance. The objective of this project is to bring awareness among the women and young children who are potential targets of abuse and then to empower them. It will consist of lectures, workshops, therapy and individual discussion sessions. The total estimated budget is $4,000.00 to cover the costs of speakers, lecture materials, and technological logistics. The Club will raise a fund of $2,000.00 from its members and requests for a matching grant from the District.
