Refugee WomenWellness Groups
Women in our communities suffer from stress, depression and isolation and often do not have a break from their roles as wife and mother to tend to their own needs.

From refugeewomensnetworkinc.org/programs ↗About this program
In response, RWN began a monthly Wellness Group in February 2021. The Wellness Group is an open community classroom led by a health professional and intrepreted into different languages by CHWs.
Wellness Group later expanded to include Women's Circle; a space that includes yoga, meditation, therapeutic tools for mental wellbeing and creative, artistic and social activities that occur in a women-only safe space.
