Together for Youth
SiHLE Program
SiHLE (Sisters, Informing, Healing, Living, and Empowering) is an empowering, social skills training intervention aimed at African American females age 12-18 years old. The sessions are gender-specific and culturally relevant and include practicing behavioral skills such as assertive communication, group discussions, lectures, and role-playing.
 
The SiHLE program is designed to address disparities within the African American population. The program addresses sexual health issues and prevention skills for young women to practice when faced with issues of adversity.

Amani Community Services is a culturally specific domestic violence and sexual assault agency serving African Americans in Black Hawk and Linn Counties. The organization provides counseling, outreach services, personal advocacy, legal advocacy, and children’s programming.
