Together we can.

STSF is a Southern California–based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women through mental health advocacy, trauma-informed support, and science-backed emotional wellness resources. Our mission is to help women heal, rebuild, and rediscover their strength after trauma through compassionate care and meaningful community connection.

We have focused on creating access to specialized mental health support for women facing trauma, emotional hardship, and domestic violence. As of 2026, Shame to Sparkle has provided individualized mental health scholarships tailored to each recipient’s unique healing journey. These services may include EMDR therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), SPECT brain scans, ketamine-assisted therapy, and access to local housing, clinics, and domestic violence support resources.

We also provide science-based social and emotional learning (SEL) advocacy designed to help women better manage stress, regulate emotions, strengthen resilience, and improve overall emotional well-being.

Through collaboration and community partnership, we work alongside respected organizations and providers including Cedars-Sinai, National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Laura’s House, and Ketamine Healing Clinic of Orange County and Los Angeles to expand access to innovative healing resources and trauma-informed care.

At STSF, we believe healing is possible when women are seen, supported, and connected to the right resources. Our goal is not only to provide assistance in moments of crisis, but to help women reclaim hope, confidence, and lasting emotional wellness.
