Welcome to Women’s Wellness & Parenting Support Center
Culturally Rooted Mental Health Services & Parenting Support for Somali Women and Families
Every Somali woman deserves access to mental health support and parenting guidance rooted in her culture, values, and faith. At WWPSC, we are dedicated to breaking barriers, fostering healing, and building stronger families through compassionate, culturally responsive care. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we provide tailored mental health services and parenting support to meet the unique emotional and social needs of Somali women and families.
Our Vision
We envision a future where Somali families are emotionally strong, deeply connected, and empowered with the mental health support they need. Through culturally rooted psycho-educational programs, counselling, and parenting resources, we strive to break the stigma surrounding mental health, reduce suicide risks, and prevent youth isolation and crime involvement. By fostering a strong, compassionate community, we aim to ensure that every woman, parent, and child feels valued, supported, and equipped to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
What we do
Women’s Wellness & Parenting Support Center has up to six programs that are all designed for women and children. We are adding more programs as we go, and curriculums are available upon request.
Who we are
As Somali women, mothers, and caregivers, we understand the challenges you face—balancing family, culture, and personal well-being, often in silence. But you don’t have to do it alone. WWPSC was founded by a team of Somali women mental health professionals and parenting educators who saw the need for a safe, supportive space for our women and children.
We are dedicated to transforming the emotional well-being of Somali women, mothers, children, and families. Through culturally rooted therapy, psychoeducation, and parenting support, we break barriers, reduce stigma, and empower families to heal and thrive—together.
Our Commitment
Our dedicated team is committed to providing a confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can openly share your experiences and work towards a brighter future. Together, we can break the cycle of shame and isolation, fostering empowerment and personal growth.

"I had the pleasure of attending several the parent classes program called circle of healing and other workshops targeted for women in abusive cycle in the community. The programs were organized and facilitated by experienced & licensed professionals in the mental health industry with more then 45 years of experience. I felt welcomed, relieved and gained clear understanding of my thoughts & feelings and I plan attending more programs. There’s stigma in minority communities such as the Somali community and taking the initiative to promote the wellbeing and mental health advocacy of Somali women is powerful, empowering them to speak up as many are suffering silence. growing generations including myself are encouraged to be silent in domestic abuse in relationships. It’s time for Somali women to speak & take up space, taking the first step & seek help for themselves & loved ones is critical. It’s never too late before your safety & your children are at risk. Thank you for your services!"
