How We Rise Up and Enjoy Life @ EHM Women’s Group

Evangel Hall MissionClient Story, COVID-19

With the pandemic pushing people apart, EHM’s core programs are more important than ever. Because everyone needs a space where they can go and know that they’re welcome—no matter what.

That’s why our Women’s Group provides a safe, compassionate community for women to gain support, build friendships, and enjoy group activities like arts and crafts. To discuss its positive impact, we sat down with Amy, an enthusiastic member of the group since 2019.

Several wonderful women gather at EHM every week to shed some stress and unwind through activities like rock painting, gardening, and local field trips. “We have a collective of mothers, aunties, and women from all different walks of life, who come together to talk and learn from one another,” says Amy.

She mentions that the group is about more than just recreation: it’s a place where women can lift up each other by being brave and sharing their personal experiences. Women’s Group has provided her with the opportunity to challenge herself, helping her to move in a direction that’s truly healing.

Looking forward, Amy is excited for more pandemic rules to be relaxed, which will remove restrictive social policies and enable her to access more EHM programming.

“If the pandemic has shown us anything, it’s that the need for places like EHM is only growing,” says Amy. “I really appreciate our donors, because they’re supporting a place where people aren’t judged, but rather provided with the resources and programs to find their bearings.”
