Programs
Six-Part Healing Series: “I Heal; We Heal”
A six-week healing and support program that provides women impacted by trauma and community harm with a safe, compassionate space to connect, grow, and rebuild resilience. Grounded in WAB2G’s core principles, this series strengthens self-awareness, relationships, and pathways toward healing.
Caregivers Program
Designed for the “silent survivors,” this program supports women caregivers navigating the challenges of a loved one’s incarceration and re-entry. Through healing circles, mentorship, and practical tools, caregivers gain the strength, guidance, and community needed to stabilize their families and heal themselves.

Y-LIPSTICK (Youth Program)
A youth-led, five-week empowerment program that equips young women with knowledge, confidence, and skills to resist involvement in gun violence and advocate for positive change. Through engaging sessions, peer leadership, and a train-the-trainer model, youth learn to lead safer futures for themselves and their communities.
Designed by youth. Built for youth. Focused on change.
