SHE Public Health Expansion

By Angela D. Coleman | President

Sisterhood Agenda is excited to announce the expansion of its SHE Sisters Healthy & Empowered initiative by creating and implementing a new trauma-informed public health prevention strategy that includes a holistic and innovative approach with: a healing paradigm, youth programs, adult workshops, a multi-media national campaign, and digital mentoring.

The newly expanded comprehensive SHE initiative will address the top health issues that disproportionately affect African American females:

  1. Obesity and overweight
  2. Reproductive health: HIV/AIDS, uterine fibroids, sexually transmitted infections, teen pregnancy
  3. Cancer including breast and cervical
  4. Stroke
  5. Violence
  6. Mental health and suicide
  7. Substance abuse

The foundation of the new SHE project is the understanding of trauma, both present and historical, and its effects on women’s and girls’ health. Sisterhood Agenda’s supportive, informed sisterhood network can help reduce the incidence of these negative outcomes and promote healthy behavior. Sisterhood Agenda will announce its new initiative during National Women’s Health Week May 11-17, 2014. We look forward to this new project and the many people that it will benefit from it!
