Black Wellness and Health
EmpowerHER is a free wellness and empowerment program for Black and African-diaspora women in Oregon. We focus on real solutions: building stronger mental health, pushing past stress, and creating sisterhood that lasts. Our sessions are trauma-informed and culturally grounded, giving women tools to advocate for themselves, heal, and grow. Every cycle includes wellness groups, peer support, and community outings that remind us we’re stronger together. We also uplift history, heritage, and cultural pride so every woman leaves more rooted in who she is.
The EmpowerHER Wellness Program is a free 90-day journey designed exclusively for Black women to reclaim their time, energy, and well-being. Over the course of three months, participants immerse themselves in weekly wellness sessions that address the unique challenges we face—balancing work, family, and community while still prioritizing self-care. Alongside these sessions, clients join vibrant group outings—spa days, park picnics, shopping trips—that offer both relaxation and connection. From day one, each woman partners with a wellness facilitator to set personal wellness goals that reflect her vision for her mental, emotional, and physical health.
Throughout the program, participants gain powerful tools for stress reduction, practical strategies to enhance mental health, and supportive guidance to help them achieve their personal wellness milestones. By the end of the 90 days, each woman emerges stronger, more centered, and more confident in her ability to maintain her well-being. The program concludes with a joyful graduation ceremony, where clients receive a Certificate of Wellness Completion—a celebration of their growth, resilience, and commitment to themselves.
Our wellness groups give Black and African-diaspora women a safe space to heal, connect, and grow together through shared experiences and practical tools for everyday life.
We host a series of group events for our registered clients, including shopping trips, sauna visits, cookouts, field trips, and training sessions that build connection, joy, and shared learning.
We offer empowerment sessions, self-advocacy workshops, and skill-building trainings to equip women with the tools, confidence, and knowledge to take charge of their lives and futures.
We are now enrolling women for our upcoming 90-day EmpowerHER Wellness Cycle beginning in late September and early October.
