Blossoming Beyond Bars

Helping Women Blossom!

The leadership team at Winning Ways, Inc., in collaboration with Quality Counseling and Dr. Janet Garcia-Hallett, is honored to invite the women participating in your program to our groundbreaking initiative, “Blossoming Beyond Bars.” This wellness and resource conference is specifically designed to empower and support women transitioning out of corrections involvement.

Through their impactful work in the community, women have expressed the need for more information about local resources and support while navigating circumstances post-incarceration. In response, we have designed this empowering workshop to create a safe space for healing, growth, and personal development.

In addition to Winning Ways, Inc., Quality Counseling, and Dr. Janet Garcia-Hallett, we are excited to announce partnerships with multiple other esteemed organizations. Together, we will offer resource exhibitions featuring onsite assistance in a range of critical areas, from career development to mental health treatment.

As part of our commitment to supporting the participants, we are collecting donations of new or slightly new handbags, toiletries, and cosmetics. Your generous contributions will provide essential items and a sense of empowerment to women experiencing reentry, helping them transition with dignity and confidence. Monetary donations will also be accepted as well. You can donate virtually using our Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3D27V2883CL9T?ref_=wl_share
