The Women's Fund For Health Education And Resiliency

The Women's Fund for Health Education and Resiliency, formerly The Women's Fund for Health Education and Research, is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1979 to support research in women's health. The Women's Fund is dedicated to providing Greater Houston area women and girls with the tools they need to be an advocate for their health. The populations we reach have limited access to health information and often struggle to maintain their basic health needs.

"WHAT ABOUT ME? Young Women's Health Education Program"

With a focus on building resiliency and prevention, this health education program teaches young women the essential skills needed to establish good personal health habits and develop into strong, healthy women. This program ensures that young girls who are at a vulnerable age have the right information about their bodies and the tough choices they will have to make as adolescents. The Women's Fund's 10-week curriculum targets multi-cultural populations in the Houston and Harris County area.

"WHAT ARE THE FACTS? Women's Health and Advocacy Project"

Reaching out to community service providers and community members, this program teaches women to practice prevention and be proactive about their health care in order to reduce illness and promote health. Faith groups, social services providers, businesses, women's groups and the general community can take advantage of this free preventive health programming. We provide health education classes that give the information individuals need to become advocates for their health by utilizing our publications: What are the Facts? and How's my health? as well as teaching resiliency skills.
