Millennium Fellowship Project: Healing Souls
Healing Souls is a social impact initiative aimed at addressing the mental health challenges faced by women who have experienced physical abuse. We focus on
creating safe spaces where women can openly share their stories, access mental health resources, and find a supportive community. By conducting awareness campaigns, and support groups, and collaborating with mental health professionals, we strive to break the stigma surrounding mental health issues related to abuse. Our mission is to empower women, raise awareness, and foster a supportive environment that contributes to healing and growth. We hope to inspire others to take a stand and advocate for change through this initiative.
