The Serenity Project challenges the increasing stigmatization of mental health and suicide, the shame survivors experience after trauma, and a lack of resources for at-risk women through our 3-step method:
1) Charitable Fashion Show hosted yearly on International Day of Self-Love.
2) Our 12-month “Soaring Curriculum” with guest speakers and evidence-based research exercises to cultivate confidence among survivors.
3) Our 1-1 women mentorship program to empower women survivors to chase their dreams through developing meaningful passion projects alongside women entrepreneurs and leaders.
This Equalithon is an opportunity to:
address a critical Societal challenge;
improve and scale our impact, together!
All times are given in US EST (NYC time)
Location: entirely remote
