Healing Together Community Resource Fair
A Community-Centered Event for Mental Health, Wellness & Connection
Hosted by Daughters of Both Suns
About the Event
Mental health, wellness, and access to resources should be available to everyone. The Healing Together Community Resource Fair is designed to bring individuals, families, and community members together with local organizations, service providers, healthcare professionals, and wellness resources in one accessible and welcoming space.
Hosted by Daughters of Both Suns, this event was created with a simple goal: to connect people with the support they need while fostering a stronger, healthier, and more connected community. Whether you are looking for mental health resources, healthcare information, housing support, educational opportunities, wellness services, or simply a place to connect with others, this event offers something for everyone.
Throughout the day, attendees will have the opportunity to meet local providers, explore community resources, participate in family-friendly activities, and learn about services available throughout Horry County and the surrounding areas. By bringing organizations and community members together in one location, we hope to reduce barriers such as stigma, cost, transportation challenges, and lack of awareness that often prevent individuals from seeking help.
The Healing Together Community Resource Fair is more than just a resource event—it's a celebration of community, resilience, and the belief that healing happens when people come together. We invite individuals of all backgrounds to join us for an afternoon of connection, education, support, and empowerment.

Healing Together: A Community Conversation on Mental Health
A Community Healing Experience for All
This in-person gathering invites individuals, families, and community members from all backgrounds to come together for intentional conversation, reflection, and connection around mental wellness.
Inspired by Sharing Hope, a national initiative by NAMI, this experience creates space to destigmatize mental health and build pathways to healing through storytelling, dialogue, and culturally grounded understanding. While honoring the lived experiences of Black and Latino communities, this event has expanded to welcome all who are seeking connection, learning, and support.
Rather than a lecture or formal workshop, this event is designed as a healing-centered community dialogue where participants can listen, share, and learn in a safe and respectful environment.
This experience includes:
• Guided video prompts exploring youth, families, and community leaders navigating mental wellness
• Open dialogue focused on reducing stigma and strengthening community support
• Conversations on culture, faith, and mental health
• Education on recognizing signs and symptoms of mental health challenges
• Practical tools for building a “support system” and finding the right therapist
• A therapist-led Q&A for questions and guidance
• Access to culturally relevant mental health resources
• Intentional space for reflection and collective healing
This is a healing-centered, educational community event. It is not therapy and not a crisis service. Participation is always optional—guests may listen quietly, reflect privately, or engage in ways that feel right for them.

Love Yourself First
A Valentine’s Month Healing Experience for Black & Latina Women
This 90-minute virtual gathering invites Black and Latina women to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves—especially during a season that can stir grief, comparison, loneliness, or pressure around relationships.

This experience includes:
Gentle grounding and affirmations centered on worth and emotional safety
Honest conversation about self-love, boundaries, and identity shifts
Reflection on life after relationship loss, transition, or self-abandonment
Storytelling from women who have navigated grief, change, and renewal
Optional journaling and chat-based reflection prompts
A live Q&A focused on healing timelines, self-trust, and rebuilding confidence

Women, Money & Mental Health
This four-part virtual workshop series explored the intersection of financial literacy and mental health for Black and Latina women. Hosted by Daughters of Both Suns in partnership with Ana Diaz of Operation HOPE, the series created space to address the emotional, cultural, and systemic factors that shape women’s relationships with money.
Across four weeks, participants engaged in guided discussions, practical tools, and reflective exercises focused on budgeting, financial confidence, money-related stress, and empowerment. Each session blended education with healing-centered practices, helping participants break silence around the gender money gap while building resilience and clarity around their financial futures.
This series emphasized that financial wellness and mental health are deeply connected—and that healing must address both.
