PROGRAM DETAILS

At Just The Beginning, we believe true healing starts from the inside out. Many of the women we serve have carried years of trauma, stress, and unhealthy patterns that take a toll on their bodies and minds. That’s why we created #HealthyMatters—a series of workshops designed to nurture the whole person and rebuild lives on a foundation of health and strength.

Through four powerful tracks—Nutritional Health, Mental Health, Physical Health, and Spiritual Health—participants discover that caring for themselves isn’t just survival, it’s transformation.

In our Nutrition workshops, certified nutritionist Michel’ Dudley and chef Maria Morris of Carabelle’s Eats and Treats show women how to reclaim their kitchens and their confidence. From preparing healthy meals on a budget to practicing fire safety and planning family-friendly menus, women gain practical skills they can carry home the very same day.

Each workshop is more than instruction—it’s a moment of hope. Women laugh together as they chop vegetables, share stories over a meal, and realize they are capable of creating healthy, safe, and nourishing spaces for themselves and their families.

This is where cycles begin to break. One recipe, one conversation, one step toward wholeness at a time.
