Celebrating All Year Long!
Bridging the Gap. Breaking Barriers. Building Healed & Healthy Communities. We use Healing Through Art to prevent and address sexual assault and domestic violence through outreach, counseling, resilience coaching, and mentoring. Our holistic approach supports survivors—especially children and families—through Integrative Art Intervention and direct advocacy services.
Through creating art and reflecting on the art products and processes, people can increase awareness of self worth while learning creative methods to manage symptom-related stress in conjunction with traumatic experiences.
At SUSO, our programs are centered
in the belief of valuable affirmations and the importance of speaking things into existence as a model of confidence and self assurance.
Breathe. Pause. Reflect. Connect.
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we invite survivors, advocates, loved ones, and community allies to gather in a supportive virtual space. Together we pause for a 30-minute guided meditation — breathing, reflecting, and honoring the resilience of all touched by violence. These sessions are an opportunity to recharge, find stillness, and strengthen our collective healing. Whether you join as a survivor, a supporter, or simply someone who cares, your presence matters.

Men in Ministry: Beyond the Sermon – An Honest Conversation Beyond the Pulpit
Ministry is powerful, but it can also be heavy. Behind every sermon is a man who carries responsibility, pressure, and challenges that don’t always make it into Sunday messages. Too often, the real conversations men in ministry need are the ones that never happen.
This free gathering is for all men in ministry—pastors, ministers, leaders, and brothers—who are ready to go deeper. Together we’ll move beyond titles and into real dialogue about faith, manhood, leadership, and wellness.
In this safe, supportive space we will:
Our communities need leaders who are willing to stand up and speak out, not just from the pulpit but in everyday life.
This event is an opportunity to recharge, reflect, and connect with other men of faith who are committed to leading with truth and courage.
Hosted by Pastor Carl Kenney

The Remember My Name Candlelight Vigil is a sacred evening of remembrance and hope where our community gathers to honor the lives lost to domestic violence, uplift the voices of survivors, and stand in solidarity with families forever impacted. Together, through reflection, storytelling, and the glow of candlelight, we affirm that their names will never be forgotten and that healing, love, and collective action will continue to light the path forward.
We welcome folks to share stories, poetry, and songs as we stand together in solidarity.
Childcare will be available during the vigil with engaging art activities for youth.
If you are interested in speaking please RSVP below. This is a public event and open to the community.
