🔥 Mindful Men Circle | Week 6: Breaking the Cycle – Addiction, Trauma & Healing

We’re closing this round of the Mindful Men Circle with one of the most important conversations yet — how trauma, violence, and addiction feed each other, and how we begin to heal.

For too many men, pain turns into silence… silence turns into coping… and coping becomes survival. But real strength is learning to recognize the cycle — and choosing to break it.

This week, we’ll talk openly about how trauma shows up in everyday life, how to build healthier ways of coping, and how we can support one another in creating new patterns of healing.

This isn’t just a discussion — it’s a reminder that we’re not defined by what hurt us, but by what we do next.

🌿 Women’s Wellness Circle | Week 5: Identity, Belonging & Heritage

For so many of us, “home” lives in two worlds — the one we come from and the one we’re still learning to belong to.

This week, we’re opening up conversations around identity, belonging, and the immigrant experience — what it means to carry multiple cultures, expectations, and dreams while trying to stay true to ourselves.

We’ll explore the stories that shaped us — the sacrifices of migration, the pressure to fit in, and the beauty of dual identity — while honoring the women before us who made belonging possible. 💗

Because identity isn’t about choosing between worlds — it’s about learning to live fully in both. 🌸

💪 Mindful Men Circle | Week 5: Mind & Body – The Connection Between Mental and Physical Health

Our minds and bodies are always talking — we’ve just learned to ignore the conversation.

This week, we’re exploring how stress, trauma, and emotions affect our physical health — and how taking care of our bodies can strengthen our mental well-being. From sleepless nights and tension we carry in our shoulders to the weight of unspoken pain, this conversation gets real about what it means to be well — inside and out. 🌙

Join us for an interactive discussion on building healthier routines, reclaiming balance, and understanding the link between how we feel and how we function.

🌸 Women’s Wellness Circle | Week 4: Marriage, Divorce & Family Roles

Love, faith, family, and choice — for many women in our communities, these aren’t just personal experiences, they’re expectations.

This week, we’re creating space to talk about the stories we grew up with — about what it means to be a “good daughter,” a good wife, or a good mother” — and how those ideas shape our relationships, our independence, and the way we see ourselves.

We’ll explore the expectations placed on women in marriage, the stigma around divorce, and the pressure to carry family honor — while also reimagining what healthy love, motherhood, and family can truly look like. 🌿

Because growth doesn’t mean rejecting where we come from — it means learning to love ourselves within it. 💗

Last week, Peer Minds attended Nonprofit Staten Island’s Annual Conference: Rooted & Rising — our very first time joining this incredible gathering of changemakers across Staten Island! 🌿

As new members of , we were inspired by the powerful conversations, panels, and workshops that reminded us how much collaboration and innovation can move a community forward.

From Chad L. Reyes’s insights on intentional leadership, to Alex Lutz’s session on amplifying your voice through PR, and Teresa Gonzalez’s talk on leveraging networks for growth — the day was full of wisdom and inspiration we’ll carry into our work at Peer Minds.

It was also a joy connecting with amazing partners and leaders like , , , , , and so many more — all doing meaningful work across the borough.

Here’s to growing, learning, and rising together. 💙

🕊️ Mindful Men Circle | Week 4: Navigating Loss, Su***de & Grief

This week, we’re holding space for one of the most difficult—and most needed—conversations: how men experience loss, su***de, and grief.

Too often, men are told to be strong in silence. But silence doesn’t heal — connection does. This session will be deeply interactive, honest, and grounded in faith, culture, and shared experience. Together, we’ll explore what it means to face pain, loss, or suicidal thoughts with courage and compassion — and how we can show up for ourselves and one another through it all.

This isn’t about fixing. It’s about understanding, feeling, and healing — together.

💗 Women’s Wellness Circle | Week 3: Suicidal Ideation & Crisis

This week, we’re holding space for one of the hardest—but most necessary—conversations.

In our communities, su***de is often met with silence, shame, and fear of “what will people say.” But silence doesn’t protect us—it isolates us.

Together, we’ll talk about recognizing the warning signs, understanding risk factors, and creating spaces where it’s safe to be honest about pain—and to reach for help.

Healing begins when we choose compassion over silence.

🔥 Mindful Men Circle | Week 3: From Awareness to Action

We’ve opened up. We’ve done the inner work. Now it’s time to rise — for ourselves and our communities. 💪

This week, we’re talking about what it truly means to advocate for your own mental health while standing up for others.
Because healing starts with us — but it doesn’t end there. 🌍

How do we stay strong while supporting those around us?
How do we turn awareness into action that creates real change?

This conversation is about transforming reflection into movement — and men into advocates for healing, compassion, and purpose.

🌿 Women’s Wellness Circle | Week 2: Trauma & Intergenerational Wounds

Some stories are spoken. Others are carried — in silence, in our bodies, and across generations.

This week, we’re exploring how trauma moves through families and cultures — from war and displacement to the expectations of honor, gender, and survival that so many of us inherit.

Together, we’ll talk about what it means to honor where we come from while also choosing to heal and break the cycles that no longer serve us. 💗
