Exhale to Inhale Receives Grant in Support of Wellness on NYC College Campuses
New York City, N.Y. —
Funds Will Support 36-Weeks of Trauma-Informed Yoga and Training on Campuses
Since 2013, Exhale to Inhale has partnered with nonprofit organizations, community agencies and other groups to bring the healing power of trauma-informed yoga to survivors of sexual and domestic violence.
Based on demand for support, Exhale to Inhale proudly announces the “From Wellness to Wellbeing” program launching in 2024 to deliver trauma-informed yoga curriculum to NY students to support their wellbeing and create safe campus communities. ETI will bring its training curriculum to college staff, faculty and all students to support cultural changes and individual understanding around sexual trauma, impacts on survivors and communities, and the use of trauma-informed tools to create welcoming spaces, reduce harm and understand consent and power dynamics.
This groundbreaking program, open to all NYC-based public colleges and educational institutions, is made possible through the generous support of Kate Spade New York Foundation. The Kate Spade New York Foundation focuses on giving across a range of mental health resources, support and intervention in underserved communities of women and girls in NYC.
“The Kate Spade New York Foundation is deeply committed to mental wellness, and their generosity helps us expand our services to address the prevalence of sexual violence on NYC college campuses. More options in healing are needed, and education and practical tools should be centered in our discussions around prevention,” said Maggie LaRocca, Exhale to Inhale Executive Director.
“We are proud to be partners of Exhale to Inhale,” said Taryn Bird, Executive Director of Social Impact at Kate Spade New York and Director of the Kate Spade New York Foundation. “We believe that access to culturally competent mental health resources is foundational to women and girls accessing their authentic voice, choice and power. It’s through interventions and programs like Wellness to Wellbeing where survivors can learn to feel safe in their bodies again along their healing and empowerment journey.”
