We are excited to share an opportunity to partner with Gaia to bring mental health services to disadvantaged youth in our community, through our collaboration with local non-profit O.N.F.I.Y.A.’s S.T.A.M.P Mentor Program.
O.N.F.I.Y.A. was created in direct response to the growing number of youth and young adults between the ages of 13 and 25 that are either falling through the cracks at school, already in the judicial system, or succumbing to negative influences within their communities. Their S.T.A.M.P. Program is a six-month mentorship program which empowers participants with important life skills. Gaia will be offering psychoeducational workshops to mentees, designed to help them learn how to thrive as they enter into adulthood.
Here are some sample workshop topics:
Vision: Crafting a future to build towards by creating a vision board.
Self-Confidence: Learning how to boldly make decisions and problem solve.
Trust: Enhancing communication and life skills.
Respect: Nurturing positive body image, self-respect and conflict resolution.
Integrity: Asserting needs and understanding abuse cycles.
Relationships: Supporting social skills and teaching tools for increasing connection.
Thank you for considering making a donation, which would help us bring this valuable offering to young people who could use our support. Contributions made directly to O.N.F.I.Y.A. through the link below are tax-deductible, and you will receive a receipt upon donation. If you would like to contribute by adding $5 or $10 to your regular session fee, please e-mail us at info@gaiacounseling.com to arrange.
