Elyse Fox Club Inc

SAD GIRLS CLUB IS A NON PROFIT ORG COMMITTED TO SHOWING UP TO SUPPORT THE MENTAL HEALTH OF GENZ, MILLENNIAL WOMEN AND FEMMES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE BIPOC COMMUNITY. THERE ARE THREE PILLARS THAT STAND AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR WORK. 1. TO CREATE IN-PERSON SAFE SPACES THAT BOTH NURTURE AND BUILD COMMUNITY FOR YOUNG WOMEN TO KNOW THEY ARE NOT ALONE, 2. PROVIDE CULTURALLY RELEVANT MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES TO THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE ACCESS, 3. TO REMOVE THE NEGATIVE STIGMA INTEGRATED WITH MENTAL HEALTH CONVERSATIONS.

IN-PERSON EVENTS:SINCE SAD GIRLS CLUBS (SGC) FOUNDING IN 2017, WE HAVE HELPED MEMBERS OF THE BIPOC COMMUNITY, PARTICULARLY WOMEN OF COLOR, REALIZE THEY ARE NOT ALONE IN THEIR STRUGGLES. WE ARE A BLACK WOMAN-FOUNDED AND MINORITY RUN ORGANIZATION CREATED TO EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITY IN NEW YORK WITH SKILLS, LANGUAGE, AND CONNECTION. WE HONOR OUR MEMBERS EXPERIENCES WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, WHICH ARE OFTEN STEEPED IN SHAME BECAUSE OF STIGMA, AND EQUIP THEM WITH TOOLS AND RESOURCES TO HANDLE LIFES CHALLENGES. WE CREATE EXPERIENCES TO TOUCH MEMBERS AT EVERY STAGE OF THEIR LIVES. OUR WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS, WHICH SPAN OVER 250,000 MEMBERS, OFFER FREE, HOLISTIC GUIDANCE ON A RANGE OF TOPICS TO SUPPORT AND CELEBRATE OUR COMMUNITY.
