At these facilities the TM technique is taught to women and children who are survivors of domestic violence, and who face some of the most difficult challenges in life, such as healing from physical and psychological battering, loss of partner or father, legal difficulties, searching for housing and work, transitioning to a new school, and so much more. TM provides these individuals with a lifelong tool for stabilizing, centering and harnessing their inner strength. In conjunction with other services offered by the Family Justice Centers and Sanctuary for Families, TM is proving to be a highly effective technique for promoting deep healing.

Rachel Teicher, Director of Economic Empowerment at the Brooklyn Family Justice Center, reports, “TM creates a safe and empowering space for our clients to regain a sense of peace and control in their lives.”

This Mother’s Day celebrate a woman you love by helping a woman in need.
