Women’s Wellness & justice network
Where Healing, justice, and Community Come Together
Our Women's Wellness & Justice Initiative empowers women by creating safe spaces for healing, education, leadership, and advocacy. We believe that personal wellness and social justice go hand in hand, and every woman deserves access to resources that support her physical, mental, emotional, financial, and civic well-being.
Throughout the year, we offer wellness-focused programs, workshops, and community events designed to help women build healthier lives, strengthen relationships, develop leadership skills, and connect with a supportive network of women committed to making a difference.
Programs and Activities Include:
Annual Women's Wellness & Justice Festival
Health and wellness workshops and self-care sessions
Women’s Wellness Retreat
Advocacy and civic engagement discussions
Women's networking and support circles
Our signature event is the Annual Women's Wellness & Justice Festival
Our signature event is the Annual Women's Wellness & Justice Festival, a day dedicated to celebrating, educating, and empowering women through wellness activities, inspiring speakers, health resources, cultural experiences, self-care opportunities, and community engagement.
During Women's History Month, the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) invites women from across our community to gather for a day of restoration, inspiration, learning, and connection.
Join us Saturday, March 20, 2027!
The Women's Wellness & Justice Fest is more than a celebration—it's a Women's History Month gathering where women come together to honor the generations who fought for equality, celebrate the progress we've made, and recommit to advancing women's rights and opportunities. Through wellness, leadership, education, and community, the festival creates space to connect, recharge, build meaningful relationships, and equip women with the tools, resources, and inspiration to lead healthy, purpose-driven lives while creating positive change in their families, workplaces, and communities.
Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, caregiver, nonprofit leader, professional, artist, activist, or simply looking for community, this event was created with you in mind.

WHY THIS MATTERS?
In 2024, the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement (AADM) established the Women's Wellness & Justice Network in honor of Debra Brenner, a dedicated board member, advocate, and community leader whose life reflected a deep commitment to justice, compassion, and service.
We will continue to proudly honor the legacy of Debra Brenner, a beloved AADM board member whose compassion, service, and unwavering commitment to equity continue to inspire our work. Through this annual gathering, we celebrate her life by creating spaces where women can heal, connect, grow, and lead.
Together, we are building healthier women, stronger families, and more connected communities.
