Our Programs
1
WELL Circles
WELL Circles are community based emotional wellness spaces designed to support women through reflection, connection and collective care. The circles offer participants the opportunity to gather in a supportive environment where emotions can be acknowledged, shared and normalized without clinical treatment or diagnosis. WELL Circles help reduce isolation and remind women that they do not have to navigate emotional challenges alone.

Women's Well Giving Circle (Mutual Aid Fund)
The Women's Well Giving Circle is The Release Program's mutual aid initiative dedicated to supporting women experiencing financial and emotional strain. Through collective giving, the fund provides direct financial assistance and supportive resources to women navigating unexpected challenges, transitions or moments of need.
The Giving Circle also reflects a shared commitment to collective responsibility, inviting individuals and community members to contribute toward a model of care that prioritizes rest, access and emotional well-being.
3
Workshops
The Release Program offers occasional workshops that support women's emotional wellness through education, dialogue and community centered learning. These workshops are designed to be accessible and affirming, providing practical tools and conversations that address emotional realities women face in their personal, professional and caregiving roles.
