Social Impact Center Boston

Social Impact Center Boston The RPCSIC promotes healing through expression in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and beyond. Check out a "Can We Talk..." meeting in your area. Liz Walker.

Each evening starts with dinner, followed by welcoming remarks by Rev. Then a saxophone soloist sets the tone, after which one by one people share their stories. Over the course of the evening, artists Wyatt Jackson and Robin Lee also share offerings of dance and song. “The Trauma Program gives you a sense of purpose—you turn what you’ve been through into helping others and that helps you heal. It’s a very good feeling. You can heal by giving back.”
