Mental health is a South Carolina issue, and when our communities struggle, women and families feel the impact.
These numbers show the need for more accessible care, stronger support systems, and resources that meet people before they reach crisis. For women and girls, mental health is connected to so many parts of life: caregiving, school, work, safety, economic security, and overall well-being.
Building a healthier South Carolina means investing in the people, families, and communities that make our state stronger. đ
Behind every data point is a person, a story, and a community that deserves to be heard. đ
In a new op-ed for Charleston City Paper, WRENâs Aisha Jones reflects on what our Status of Women and Girls data reveals about Charleston County and why community voices must guide what comes next.
This weekend, weâre bringing that conversation to Charleston to listen, learn, and hear directly from the people behind the numbers.

Because of you, WREN raised $45,775 during Midlands Gives! đ
This support came from 203 unique donors, 209 online gifts, 2 prize wins, and 2 matching gifts, all helping us continue the work for women, girls, and families across South Carolina.
Every gift helps WREN advocate for economic opportunity, reproductive freedom, stronger support systems, and communities equipped to organize, engage, and lead.
Thank you for showing up, giving generously, and helping us build power for the work ahead.
Redistricting may sound technical, but its impact is deeply personal.
District lines influence who represents us, which issues get attention, and how communities are heard in government. WREN's CEO, Amalia Luxardo, testified against redistricting in South Carolina because voters deserve a process that is fair, transparent, and centered on the people, not politics.
Hereâs what happened during week seventeen of the legislative session, whatâs at stake, and how you can take action to help build a better South Carolina for women and girls as the General Assembly heads into its final week. Weâll continue sharing timely updates and opportunities to take action as the session comes to a close! âđ
For many girls, advocacy starts with the women and caregivers who raise them, the ones who teach them to care deeply, speak up, ask questions, and believe something better is possible.
WREN honors the mothers, grandmothers, aunties, caregivers, mentors, and chosen family shaping the next generation.
Hereâs to a South Carolina where women, girls, and families have the support they need to thrive. Happy Motherâs Day from WREN. đ
Advocacy works and this session showed the proof.
Join WREN for a post-session webinar breaking down what happened at the State House and what our community helped make possible. Weâll cover key legislative outcomes, WRENâs impact by the numbers, and ways to stay involved in what comes next.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder to check in with ourselves and each other.
Support can look different for everyone: therapy, medication, rest, community, time off, child care, or simply having someone really listen.
As Motherâs Day approaches, weâre thinking of the mothers and caregivers who carry so much every day. Gratitude matters, but so does real support. đ đ
