About the project
Self Care Sanctuary was founded in 2021 by two social workers and a birth/postpartum doula. With the need for mental health interventions and services spiking during the pandemic, SCS was founded to provide access to mental health resources for Detroit residents.
The Self Care Series was created to educate Detroiters about the importance of self care and provide a space for people to participate in self care activities. Some of these activities include yoga classes and art therapy. Self Care has been proven to holistically manage and reduce stress for those who do it weekly. Our overall goal is to reduce the prevalence of mental health illness in Metro Detroit.
The Steps
Once our funding is secured, we will host self-care-focused community events throughout 2025! These events will include events such as yoga classes, wellness events, and more!
Why we‘re doing it
Mental health affects millions per year. Our organization is dedicated to educating Detroiters about the importance of mental health and self care, as well as providing a space for residents to engage in various activities to improve their overall mental health!
