β¨ Week 1 β Reclaiming Safety & Self-Identity
Theme: βBefore we can rise, we must first feel safe where we stand.β
In this opening session, we focus on re-establishing emotional, mental, and physical safety.

Key Impact:
A foundation of safety is created β a place where trust can grow again.
β¨ Week 2 β Healing Through Expression & Storytelling
Theme: βYour voice is not lost β itβs waiting to be heard.β
Through guided journaling, expressive art, and storytelling, participants gently release the emotions held in silence. This week provides permission to feel, write, and speak freely without fear or judgment.
Key Impact:
Expression becomes a pathway to empowerment. Each story shared affirms resilience and strength.
β¨ Week 3 β Rebuilding Self-Worth & Boundaries

Participants explore what healthy love looks like β starting with self-love. Through reflective exercises and guided discussions, they learn to set emotional, physical, and relational boundaries that protect their peace and healing.
Key Impact:
Participants begin saying βnoβ without guilt, and βyesβ to themselves. This is the turning point from surviving to thriving.
β¨ Week 4 β Rising Stronger: Hope, Healing & Future Pathways
Theme: βMy story is not over β itβs just beginning.β
In the final week, participants create their personalized Resilience Plan β including coping tools, support networks, and daily affirmations that continue to nurture their healing journey.
