No one should have to heal from trauma alone. In honor of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we’re sharing how our adult counseling program supports survivors:
~Specialized Care: We provide free, DV-specific counseling focused on safety planning, risk assessment, and healthy boundaries.
~Collaborative Healing: From "empty chair" exercises to letter writing, counselors work with survivors on creative ways to process trauma.
~Safe Community: Our support groups create a "family" atmosphere where survivors realize they are not alone.
~Positive Affirmation: We provide a stabilizing presence to help survivors reclaim their worth and voice.
Our program funding is at risk this September. Read the stories of those impacted and help us take action.

Do you remember the excitement of summer camp and summer picnics?? The smell of markers, the thrill of tie-dyeing your first t-shirt, and that perfectly timed freeze pop on a hot afternoon?
For the children and survivors in WINGS programs, these aren't just "summer activities"—they are opportunities to play, heal, connect and simply be kids again.
As we prepare for our summer camp sessions and client picnics across the city and suburbs, we need your help to stock up on "fun!" We are looking for in-kind donations of items such as:
~Snacks: Individual bags of chips and boxes of freeze pops
~Art Supplies: markers and tie-dye kits
~Outdoor Activities: Kids' gardening sets and games
Your generosity ensures that every child we serve has a summer filled with fun, treats, and joyful memories.
To contribute, please visit our Walmart Wish List (all items will be shipped directly to WINGS) at the link in bio.
Let’s come together to make this a summer to remember for these resilient families. We are hoping to have all items sent by June 3rd. Additional questions? Please reach out to Pam at [email protected] Thank you!
