Our Work

Loyal Butterflies’ mission is to motivate, inspire, empower, and encourage women and young ladies living in San Francisco Public Housing Development to focus on their Health and Wellness, Racial Equity, Social Justice, higher education and economic upward mobility.

Services

The Loyal Butterflies volunteers, advocates, community health workers, and promotores provide culturally congruent, person-centered services that bridge different health and social services systems to improve the health and well-being of the people they serve. As a service provider we perform a variety of formal roles, from supporting care transitions and referrals, to encouraging and educating individuals on how to take care of their own health & wellness. What makes this workforce uniquely effective is our ability to establish trusting relationships with the people we serve, grounded in shared life experience and community connections. By forging trusted relationships, we not only engage with members in health-related activities, but also help to change perceptions and encourage behaviors that contribute to better health outcomes.

Embracing a Harm Reduction Approach

We understand that navigating the complexities of health and wellness can be challenging, especially when combined with experiences of trauma. That's why we embrace a harm reduction approach, recognizing that each person's path to healing is unique and requires compassion, understanding, and personalized support. Our program is rooted in empowering young ladies to make informed choices that prioritize their safety, well-being, and self-empowerment.

Focus Areas:

Health & Wellness

Health and Wellness: We offer a wide range of workshops and educational resources that cover topics such as nutrition, physical activity, reproductive health, sexual education, mental health, and healthy relationships. Our goal is to provide young ladies with comprehensive knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their well-being

Self-Care

Self-Care: We believe that self-care is an essential aspect of overall wellness. Our program incorporates self-care practices that promote self-love, self-compassion, and self-empowerment. Through workshops, guided activities, and resources, we encourage young ladies to prioritize self-care as a means of maintaining emotional well-being and building resilience.

Trauma Healing

Trauma Healing: Recognizing the impact of trauma on mental and emotional health, our program offers trauma-informed support and resources. We create a safe space where young ladies can explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and access healing modalities that promote resilience and growth. Our compassionate team provides guidance and tools to help participants navigate the healing journey.
