S.O.A.R.

Services Offering Adult Restoration

S.O.A.R. is a holistic program that practices the integration of individual and community wellness. This will be viewed through the lens of the 8 dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, financial, social, environmental, and spiritual well-being. Additionally, justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion are all pillars of the foundation of wellness.

It is critical that community members and organizations understand and interact effectively with people who have different values, lifestyles, and traditions based on their distinctive heritage, social relationships, and identity. Through the programming provided through SOAR we cover every aspect of the wellness wheel as a benefit to all communities and their members.
