The Hebrew word “Shalom” means more than just peace — it means wholeness, repair, and even the crushing of the chaos that fractures our lives.
Shalom: The path toward healing
Shalom International is a 501C(3) that develops place-based wellness models that integrate therapeutic care, family support, and shared community infrastructure to strengthen neighborhoods.
We are rooted in the understanding that repair from trauma is possible. Through mental and behavioral wellness programs, kids and families in disenfranchised communities are offered a path toward healing.
Foundational to Shalom’s work is the interplay between the brain, body and one’s relationships, with special care to the brain’s natural ability to heal, change, and grow.
