Description
Seeds to Flowers, Inc. started in 2014 at a local high school in East New York, Brooklyn. All of our students experienced various traumas from sexual abuse, prostitution, low self-esteem and emotional stress. Every Wednesday we ran girls groups and college prep. This year all of our girls graduated from high school and was accepted into college. Our girls self-esteem improved and so did their grades. We completed college tours in state and out of state. Recently we started working with faith based organization who lacked mental health services and started providing our trauma informed group services.
