Upcoming Projects
Soul Shop™ for Hispanic Churches
Soul Shop Foundation is excited to announce its new initiative: Soul Shop™ for Hispanic/Spanish Churches. Our dedicated team will be in the process of developing this workshop in late spring 2024. We understand the importance of tailor-made support that resonates with specific cultural backgrounds, and therefore, we invite you or anyone you know to contribute towards this meaningful cause. Donations of any kind will go a long way in helping us ensure that individuals of Hispanic/Spanish faith receive the support they need. Together, let's empower and uplift our community through faith and prevention.

Soul Shop™ Africa
Soul Shop™ Africa, our life-saving initiative, is set to commence its development process in the year 2024. The urgency behind this endeavor cannot be understated as Africa continues to grapple with some of the highest suicide rates in the world. Every life lost to suicide is a tragic outcome that could have been prevented, and it is with this unwavering belief that we channel our energy, seek funding, offer prayers, and open doors for change.
One of the key aspects of Soul Shop™ Africa is its unwavering commitment to understanding and respecting the diverse cultural beliefs and norms prevalent throughout the continent. We recognize that a one-size-fits-all approach will not effectively address the complex tapestry of Africa's diverse communities. Therefore, this workshop will be meticulously designed to cater to the unique needs and perspectives of different cultures.
With the aim of becoming a beacon of hope and light, we are devoted to engaging the faith community in this noble cause. By educating faith leaders about suicide prevention and mental health, we aim to facilitate a ripple effect that transcends the confines of the church and permeates the wider community. We firmly believe that by equipping the faith community with life-saving information and strategies, we can establish a powerful network of support that will extend far beyond the confines of our workshops.
Soul Shop™ Africa is not just an initiative; it is a testament to our belief in the power of unity, compassion, and resilience. Together, we can combat the alarming suicide rates in Africa and pave the way for a brighter future, where each individual feels seen, heard, and valued.

Soul Shop for Jewish Temples
Soul Shop™ Foundation has recently received numerous inquiries from various Jewish organizations expressing their interest in the development of a specialized workshop, specifically tailored for Jewish communities. This compelling endeavor would delve into the intricate aspects of suicide prevention within the faith, offering valuable insights and resources. By embarking on this meaningful project, not only would we be able to deepen our connection with the Jewish community, but we would also significantly expand our reach in the realm of faith-based suicide prevention. We warmly invite all those who are passionate about this cause to join us in making a difference.
