Every action we take, every creative campaign we design & execute, our organization has this objective at the forefront of our hearts and minds.

Rather than solely raising awareness, our primary objective is focused solely on taking actions that advance a solution based approach to our children’s rights being marginalized and violated.

When a child is harmed, that abuse has a far reaching and a debilitating effect on many people, not just on the child and the immediate caregivers of the child. That is because we innately know that a child is innocent and may not have the opportunity to champion their own causes. They may not have the opportunity nor the understanding to even communicate the harm being done to them. So when a child is harmed, communities get negatively impacted as an overall faith in our own humanity diminishes. We question: Who would harm a child? And sometimes we ignore the answer.

Usually, but not always, those who were harmed as children repeat the cycle. So what is the solution?

OCMM hosts healing circles regularly as part of our Shanti Walks, TRC hearings and anytime a group requests us to do so. Healing circles are safe community gatherings where we guide the participants in transmuting their pain into joy. We integrate movement therapy and other healing modalities for the purpose of healing our own inner wounded child first. That’s how we begin truly healing the world. Our healing circles are non-religious. We welcome people from all backgrounds.
