Center Expands Health & Wellness Resources with Wellness Beyond Barriers 2025
The Center is pleased to partner with I Am Well Foundation to host Wellness Beyond Barriers. LGBTQ+ communities often face chronic stress, food insecurity, and limited access to holistic care, leading to poor physical, mental, and emotional health. Wellness Beyond Barriers helps bridge this gap by providing a year-long wellness program that builds resilience and empowers participants to take control of their well-being. Each session includes an interactive lesson and personal connections with I Am Well partner providers. Sessions include tools and practices to build resilience, manage stress, practice self-care, as well as nutrition and gardening education. The program is funded by the Dayton Foundation’s Greenlight Grant.
