About us
​
SHEWISE is a voluntary sector organisation working at the grass root level to support the educational, economic, social development and mental wellness of all women particularly with South Asian and Middle Eastern women and young girls.
Our Holistic Model of Empowered Living focuses on developing attitudes, capabilities and opportunities for women and young girls. We enable them to realise and activate their innate ability to be the primary agency in their life. We develop their interpersonal, employability and entrepreneurial skills, building their confidence and ability to strengthen their will power to practice creating new ideas and actions with values of wellness, self-care and internal freedom enabling them to pursue their goals to live a life of wellness and financial independence.
We offer safe haven services and multi-level programs that are culturally sensitive, personal and understandable to ethnic women and girls. Our programs provide a holistic mixture of engaging bilingual workshops, skill development activities and mental wellness initiatives that target multiple barriers. We provide opportunities for women and young girls to exercise expression, explore creativity, and practice physical movement.
Our holistic model of empowerment focuses on building new responses to experiences and relationships, helping women to move away from fear, trauma, isolation, loneliness and alienation that leads them to shame, guilt, and lack of self-worth. We provide knowledge and expertise to help them experience connection, belonging, grounding, freedom and expansion.
