As part of our mission to build healthy communities, The Wall Las Memorias (TWLM) facilitates a number of support groups that empower individuals and create safe spaces for personal growth. Our support groups offer participants the chance to heal and reflect in a community setting as well as provide individuals with the tools needed to build leadership and advocacy skills. Support groups are designed with the community in mind and are facilitated by team members that reflect the population.
