Titled “SOS: Saving Our Self,” the brunch is an outlet for women to “learn, grow and connect” with themselves and others, according to Melinda G. Todd, program coordinator, JSU

A goal is to help save women from preventable health issues facing the community today such as HIV/AIDS, substance abuse and mental health issues, Todd said.

Registration fee is $10 for young women 12-17 and college students with an ID and $20 for adults. RSVP required.
