"Women Leading Healthy Change (WLHC)," is a student-run program developed by Dr. Rachel Robitz while she was in medical school at the University of Cincinnati (2009 - 2012). WLHC continues to serve women in Cincinnati; has since expanded to Sacramento, CA; and will soon be launching in Richmond, Virginia, under the leadership of 4th-year medical students @ VCU.
WLHC consists of a 10- week curriculum where medical students, along with women who are recovering from commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking, co-lead collaborative classes on various topics in women's health and mental health. VCU medical students will collaborate with Bailey Hilliard, MSW, Director of Programs @ The Chesterfield County Jail, to jumpstart the program at this location and tailor health topics that are most relevant and meaningful to women in this community.
Learn about this unique program that aims to empower women through education strategies that recognize personal strength and resilience.
