SOAR’s Writing for Healing Workshops for those who have aged out of the foster care system For young women who are home insecure and undereducated, SOAR’s goal is to connect disconnected young women, who complete SOAR’s six-week workshop, to SOAR’s Mother Mentors during SOAR’s yearly retreat. During this retreat, the young women will continue their process of healing and self- discovery with an elder to guide their journey. The goal is to provide the necessary mothering and nurturing that will empower young women to become self- actualized and able to create positive changes in their home or external environment. SOAR’s Writing for Healing workshops create a safe space for them to develop strategies with the support of the wisdom shared within the circles.
