About:
The Blossom Project and Downtown Streets Team are partnering to give women experiencing homelessness the emotional and physical tools necessary to empower their lives.
The purpose with Blooming Room is to create an atmosphere of inclusion and empower vulnerable women to be and feel part of the community and to create a safe environment to build your life again. This is done by strengthening women's self-confidence by highlighting the skills and competencies they already have and supporting them in acquiring new ones.
Through Blooming Room, the women hereby have the opportunity to prepare for their future by finding and believing their own resources. The project's activities also support women in finding relationships and building healthy communities.
A part of this curriculum is to help the women be aware of their mental wellbeing. Mental health consists of psychological resources and abilities to be able to develop mentally and endure challenges and stress.
Duties and Responsibilities

The class runs every week from 03/25/19 - 06/20/19 on Thursday and Fridays (dates are subject to change). We hope you are able to commit for the 12 weeks the pilot project is running. The group will consist of about 6-8 women that are ranging from 40-75 years of age.

Description
The idea to launch Blossom Project formed in 2016 as the founder was reading articles about the many hardships that homeless women endure. She was filled with deep compassion as she realized the added difficulties that homeless women face attempting to maintain personal dignity and good sanitary habits, especially during their monthly feminine periods.
Since the summer of 2016, Blossom Project has made its mission to support homeless women, inspired as a response to the sizable number of women facing life on the streets invisible in the shadows of our communities.
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do."
