Social justice work is a powerful force for change, but the toll of advocating for equity and fighting systemic injustices can affect mental health, physical well-being, and the ability to sustain long-term efforts. Recognizing this, the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) is proud to introduce the Women’s Wellness and Justice Leadership Program—a transformative initiative designed to empower women by prioritizing self-care, leadership development, and community impact.
Inspired by the legacy of Debra Brenner, a tireless advocate for justice and community care, this program acknowledges the unique struggles women face while leading in advocacy spaces. It provides a safe space for connection, a supportive community, and access to essential resources. Through this program, participants will develop leadership skills, foster resilience, and enhance their well-being as they work to create lasting change for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Join us for a transformative 6-week Women Wellness and Justice Cohort starting in March 2025. This program is designed to empower women leaders by fostering wellness, building advocacy skills, and strengthening community connections.
The cohort includes:
- Four Weekly Meetups: Engage in workshops on self-care, leadership, storytelling, and community building. By Zoom or in-person.
- Women Wellness Retreat: A rejuvenating weekend retreat to reflect, recharge, and strategize for future action.
- Two Follow-Up Sessions: Post-retreat check-ins for implementation support and celebration.
Participants must commit to attending at least 90% of the weekly meetups to qualify for the retreat and final conference. Includes no-cost for lodging and activities..
By combining the principles of wellness and justice, AADM is building a foundation for women to thrive as leaders while maintaining balance and sustainability in their lives. Together, we can continue the fight for justice while uplifting and nurturing the women at the forefront of change.
