Women On Maintaining Education and Nutrition (W.O.M.E.N.), in collaboration with the US Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, is currently implementing BreakFREE, a culturally specific program for African American and Hispanic Women. BreakFREE, targeting the 13 counties of Middle TN, provides intake, case management, peer navigation, survivor plans, mental health, employment readiness, legal support, victim advocacy and training, and complete care continuum support and services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Services are also provided to the dependent children of victims who are impacted by/witnesses to victim violence.
The program provides perishable and non-perishables, increasing community members ability to meet the needs of their families while promoting nutrition as a key to healthy lifestyles. Full Plate, a no cost food pantry, is open daily 9:00 am-1:00 pm (excluding friday and weekends) and serving Davidson and surrounding Counties.
Facilitated by the Founder of W.O.M.E.N., each woman will represent one of the denoted nine Deep South states. They will create a hallmark of health within the HIV African American community. The BrainTrust South will identify specific prevention treatment and care protocols, create new opportunities to collaborate, create networks that serve underserved communities, link our collective to other networks, connect to and establish relationships with national leaders, unify our common vision, and develop culturally specific data and research. The BrainTrust South will partner with: Universities and institutions of higher education; Government officials; Hospitals, doctor’s offices, pharmacies, libraries and community centers, volunteers, interns; HIV and non-HIV community-based organizations, and community health clinics; Pharmaceutical companies; Businesses, philanthropists; Churches, mom and pop shops, gatekeepers; mental health providers; IT and the media.
Our Vision: W.O.M.E.N. integrates prevention, care and treatment attending to the whole person developing personal and professional growth.
