Virtual Parent Cafe: Self-Care
September 16, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Azalea Project provides outreach, education and support services to substance-using pregnant women. It focuses on substance-involved families whose lifestyle increases their chances of experiencing a myriad of health and social risks, including unsafe sex (STIs⁄HIV), unwanted childbearing, poor school performance, poverty, infant mortality, abuse and neglect and involvement with the criminal justice system. The Azalea Project is based on an empowerment model that promotes self-sufficiency and personal transformation using a comprehensive, multi-generational approach.
Azalea is located in a storefront on the corner of 8th and Market in Jacksonville’s Springfield neighborhood and provides condoms, baby items, baby clothing and more for community members in need.
The ROSE Project, a peer recovery specialist initiative, is also housed out of the Azalea Project.
