Description
Delivered in partnership with Breanna Chanelle Therapeutic Services.
This dynamic program is designed to empower Black girls ages 10-13 by teaching them both practical sewing skills and emotional intelligence. Guided by a diverse team, including a skilled seamstress, a social worker and a teacher, each weekly session is divided into three purposeful segments: a therapeutic learning session followed by a quick movement break before moving into to a guided sewing session. Participants will design and complete a personalized sewing project while gaining insights into self-awareness and emotional regulation. The program concludes with a final showcase where the girls proudly present their finished creations to family, friends and community members. This event celebrates their achievements, boosting their confidence and allowing them to share their learning journey. This safe space supports young girls through the development of essential life skills and self-esteem while they connect with peers and create something beautiful with their own hands.
Note: Upon completion of the program, participants may request a receipt for the portion of the program related to these services. This receipt may be eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits that cover Registered Social Worker services. Coverage varies by provider.
