Appreciation Ceremony
In 2008, BLU Educational Foundation partnered with Sisters in Ministry (SIM) to launch a new program called Healthy Sisters, Healthy Lives. The program was created by SIM Founder Rev. Sonja R. Dawson to educate young women ages 12-21 on women’s health issues. She developed this educational program after learning about recent medical studies that show young Black women and girls are at an increased risk for many preventable diseases.
The mission of Healthy Sisters, Healthy Lives (HSHL) is to educate young women and girls of color to make informed health decisions. After participating in the eight (8) week program participants will be able to make more informed health care decisions, have a better understanding of her cultural and ethnic identify and how that relates to her health, be informed about community health care resources, and increase her knowledge of health care professions.
How it Works
Become an HSHL participant by joining us at weekly Friday night sessions beginning April 16 through June 4. This spring HSHL will increase your knowledge in three modules: (a) Body Image, (b) Nutrition & Fitness, and (c) HIV/AIDS & STI Awareness. Each topic will provide you with in-depth information to promote health awareness, sisterhood, and discussion on how we can begin to live our lives healthy, happy, and aware. Each module will open with a guest speaker to present and educate you on how to live healthy lives, and will close out with a wrap session to expand your knowledge on the topic.
Program Meeting Dates
HSHL will meet every Friday beginning April 16 and will close out the program with a participation appreciation ceremony on Friday, June 4. Each session starts at 6pm and ends at 8pm.
