Facilitated by a social worker and certified wilderness experts, these sessions guide participants through a healing journey, addressing traumas stemming from the migration process—be it before, during, or after migration. Such traumas may encompass navigating loss and separation from one's homeland, family, and familiar traditions, as well as adjusting to a new physical environment and unfamiliar cultural landscapes. Contact our Youth Coordinator at rtucker@rockymountainwelcome.org to attend the next HAN session.

In 2023, Springs Academy joined the RMWC family and partnered to expand its offerings to include soccer practices and games for immigrant children ages 5 to 15 across the metro Denver area. For more details on Springs Academy send an email with Springs Academy in the subject line to: info@rockymountainwelcome.org "I didn’t know who I was until I went through this course. Now I honor my culture and I understand that to be part of this society I don’t have to abandon my roots.” - Girls Rule the World graduate
