HaGomel’s mission is to support emotional and psychological healing for women who have experienced sexual trauma. Through our program partners, in 2022 we will offer a variety of expressive arts programs interweaving visual art, writing/poetry, movement/dance, music, and theater. In addition, we intend to launch our own expressive arts programs online and in person in Southern California.
