WHO WE SERVE
What we believe
At Strong Survivors®, we envision a world where African American women and girls are fully empowered to rise above systemic barriers, psychological distress, and overcome life’s challenges to lead, heal, and thrive.
Who We Serve
We aim to serve African American women and girls ages 13 and up, with a strong commitment to those who have experienced:
- Psychological distress, structural inequalities, and systemic racism.
- Physical, Emotional, or Sexual abuse.
- Generational poverty and housing instability.
- Life transitions, single motherhood.
Our participants often face multiple overlapping challenges, but they build the strength to survive and lead with proper support networks.
What We Do
We support women and girls by
- Providing culturally responsive mentoring and life-skills programming.
- Offering trauma-informed mental health education and support groups that prioritize emotional well-being.
- Expand fee-for-service employment opportunities to foster financial independence and job readiness.
- Build long-term community partnerships to support sustainability, resource access, and scalability.
- Create a replicable community empowerment model for minority women and girls in underserved regions.
