The Women’s Initiative is a Charlottesville nonprofit providing trauma-informed mental health counseling and programs for women and members of the gender-expansive community facing barriers to care.
Challenge Into Change is their annual writing program for Central Virginia community members. Participants may share prose or poetry about resilience, growth, and healing. Writers of all experience levels, including first-time writers, may participate. Entries received by Tuesday, September 8 will be considered for this year’s book and community celebration. They believe that every story shared is an opportunity to help someone feel less alone.
