This project will create a "Oasis Center" in Detroit MI, that will be designed to provide services to girls ages 9-17, to combat the issues they deal with mentally from the inside out. It will serve as a calming space for girls to come practice mindfulness techniques, gain self-esteem tools to boost self-awareness, self-love and self-identity, combat traumatic experiences interfering with their good mental health and a atmosphere that will provide peace and tranquility.
About 7% of youth or 1.8 million adolescents and teens experience severe depression. These experiences are very serious and can interfere with school, home and in relationships, according to the Polaris Teen Mental Health Facts Resource. Many girls are not equip with positive outlets that will allow them to seek assistance and we have learned this throughout working with girls in our Mentoring program. This project can provide the space needed to assist girls who are seeking help.
"The Oasis" A Restoration for Girls from the Inside Out, will allow us to serve 25-30 girls. We will be able to have a secure location for girls to come and continue to receive important skills, techniques and workshops that will assist them with learning their characteristics, good mental health and self-esteem.
This project will help 80-100 girls a year gain valuable knowledge that will allow them to be successful and mentally healthy, as they grow into beautiful women.
