At Pointters, we are dedicated to the support and well being of minority individuals throughout the Fox Valley community, which includes the strengthening and improvement of the mental health of minority individuals who may be struggling in their households for a variety of reasons.
We believe that good mental health is a key step in improving livelihoods. To that end, we have been enlisting friends and community members in our mental health programs and have even partnered with other organizations to support and continue our mental health improvement initiatives.
Our HERS Group combined with the SFP Program, reaches out to women and children of minority communities to help them discuss their various struggles and provide advice on improving their livelihoods through mental health exercises and strengthening family bonds. In addition to the HERS Group that meets regularly at our main office, we have also brought SFP and youth mental health workshops to families in local homeless shelters thanks to our friends at Pillars.
Our biggest ambition yet is a youth-centered Summer wellness program known as YELP (Youth Empowerment Leadership Program) where for eight weeks, we lead youth individuals through workshops dedicated to various themes of self improvement, including mental health and self-confidence. This is our most ambitious program yet, we're excited to see where it takes us!
