SocialWorx Institute was founded by Vonnie L. Hawkins, LCSW in 2017 to support trauma survivors and create Continuums of Care service delivery systems to better serve them. SocialWorx's mission is to empower individuals and communities to prevent childhood trauma, heal adult survivors and break Intergenerational cycles of violence, abuse, addiction and incarceration. We believe that self-love is empowerment and every individual deserves access to the tools and resources necessary to live a life free from the burden of trauma. SocialWorx has been focusing its efforts on at-risk, underserved communities, including rural, indigenous and faith-based communities which lack adequate resources to support their health and education about how trauma shows up in our bodies and affects our lives. We teach and train mind-body medicine and mindfulness skills and techniques to adults and children. By building sustainable practices of self-care, self-love and empowerment, they can reduce the impact of trauma in their lives, families, relationships and communities, breaking the intergenerational cycles of violence, abuse, addiction and incarceration that are the predictable outcomes of unresolved trauma.
