Services

W.E.A.N. provides services to women with disABILITIES through carefully crafted implementation, evaluation, and promotion of health and wellness strategies grounded in theory and based upon best practices.  All W.E.A.N. support programs create a positive, productive environment which value the contributions of each participant and volunteer. 

W.E.A.N. creates this atmosphere by inviting open, honest, respectful conversations between mentors and participants.  Our organization values teamwork between the mentors and the advisory board and partners, and emphasizes compassion and respect for self and others.  

W.E.A.N. encourages and rewards ethical behavior among all participants and models ways in which one can achieve balance in their lives, and remain committed to lifelong learning, wellness and health.  Our mentors exceptional women who utilize a variety of strategies to address critical health behaviors and wellness concerns affecting women with disabilities.  Through their own testimony and witness, as our mentors were once able bodied women who have successfully learned to live with their disabilities.  They are role models providing true inspiration for those who thought all was lost.  

W.E.A.N. is constantly working to create more programs for participants and she works tirelessly to introduce W.E.A.N. services to more Charlotte communities.  We measure the success of our efforts by the success of participant experiences.
