We advocate for healing by meeting youth where they are and being intentional in how we understand healing. We host small groups at middle schools and high schools. When we host small groups: we bring snacks, pass the aux, run activities that make real-life applications to mental health + well-being, and invite school counselors or trusted cool teachers into the group so they can understand how to better support the students; without judgment. We collaborate with other organizations and community advocates whose work and mission align in supporting healing. We lead workshops, participate in events and panel discussions and post up at festivals handing out snack packs full of resources and other things to help you if you need them.
We use a formula at The CornerStore that we hope will help you identify what healing looks like in your life. The formula is a three-step process: Manifest, Activate, and Power. When we put these three words together, it creates a map. We like to think of this as a map that guides you and lets you know where you're at and where you need to go; the same goes for our healing.
To make it make sense...when we manifest what healing looks like for our life, we can find the tools + resources needed to activate healing, which empowers us to heal and live authentically for ourselves. You determine what that looks like for you then fill in your map with the tools + resources that work for you.
