Stress-Away Write-Away Series
The purpose of the StressAway-WriteAway Series is to provide a safe, comfortable forum and provide a platform for the clients and employee/trainees of Empowerment Center to examine their concerns, anxieties and frustrations and then transfer newly-learned social skills and stress management tools to help them better cope and thrive in the 21st century. The workshops:
- Provide techniques on stress management, anger management, and conflict resolution to abate and reduce negative stress.
- Offer a platform for open and candid discussions around crime, violence, substance abuse and other community-destroying issues.
- Establish a peer network with positive role-models. Participants learn communication techniques that improve social skills.
- Introduce behavioral transformation strategies with innovative culturally competent techniques and learn to apply skills to diminish anxiety
The Workshops develop more spiritually based, morally grounded productive citizens between the ages of 12 to 112. SAWA strengthens and expands the vision of family support and ignites passion and commitment for the future of entire families. Becoming socially conscious, participants become more accountable for their individual neighborhoods and elevate levels of community involvement. Training sessions are conducted according to the schedules prescribed by the Empowerment Center and can be modified to suit individual group needs.
