Partnerships are essential to making a meaningful impact in the community. I am grateful for our partnership with Alicia’s Coffee. Each session represents a step toward healing, and Naimah graciously shared her personal story and vision of creating a healing space within her coffee shop. She has a heart of gold, and I truly appreciate her willingness to allow Nurture of Alabama to support and grow her vision.

As Nurture of Alabama concludes its final lesson of the Mind Matters: Trauma-Informed course at WJ Christian School in Birmingham, AL, we reflect on a truly bittersweet moment 💚✨

For 12 weeks, these incredible students showed up eager to learn, grow, and heal. They explored emotional regulation, healthy decision-making, empathy, goal-setting, self-worth, and resilience through meaningful lessons and engaging activities. Many students shared that this program became the highlight of their week, which speaks volumes about its impact.

Our program facilitator delivered each lesson with passion, creativity, and care, equipping students with lifelong skills we are confident they will continue to use to support their mental well-being and brighter futures.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to:

• Crystal Mullen-Johnson, Founder & President of Nurture of Alabama, for her powerful vision and dedication to youth mental wellness
• Councilman Clinton Woods, Birmingham District 1, for believing in this mission and sponsoring this program
• Candie Johnson, Program Facilitator, for her unwavering commitment, creativity, and connection with the students
• Mr. Calhoun & Ms. Durden for classroom support and student accountability
• Mrs. Berry, School Counselor, for her collaboration and for ensuring students received additional support when needed
• Principal Lumzy, for welcoming this program into the school and supporting student growth

This program was a tremendous success, and this is only the beginning. Nurture of Alabama is excited to bring Mind Matters to more schools in the future.

💚The future is brighter when we nurture young minds.
