Our Story
Founded by two Clinical Social Workers in 2019, SSKIM is a creative and holistic program for young people. We support wellness to enhance development and well-being through dance, sports, and movement-based activities. Our programs use a unique and interdisciplinary approach that values being trauma-informed, person-centered, and pro-neurodiversity. At SSKIM, we provide a safe space while addressing the wellness needs of young people in marginalized communities. We believe that everyone has the innate desire to move and that young people learn best through play. Our programs use a variety of movement-based activities to engage and empower young people while having fun! We welcome young people of all abilities and neurodiversity into our SSKIM community!
Our Approach
We are committed to person-centered and strength-based learning, putting our young people at the forefront of their own development. With a commitment to wellness, we recognize the importance of movement in our daily lives. We aim to promote authenticity and acceptance among all of our young people. We emphasize relationship-building through kinesthetic empathy and attunement.
