What is VISA?
Victory In Self-Awareness (VISA) is a trauma-informed, school-based program designed to support the social-emotional development of adolescent girls in grades 6th, 7th/8th, and 9th. Rooted in identity exploration, emotional regulation, and life skills, VISA equips girls to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, within and beyond the classroom.
