Social Skills in Motion (SSIM INC.)

A holistic program for young people, that bridges movement and dance with social-emotional wellness

Social Skills in Motion Contribution Page

As we continue expanding our programs, our biggest challenge is securing capital to afford a physical space to call home. Now, we are renting a small one-room community center and do not have autonomy over the space or the days/ times in which we can provide our services. Our dream is to have our own space where we can become a holistic, one-stop shop for wellness through movement! We want to offer multiple groups simultaneously and have a place for the community to seek out services. 
Check out some of our young people exploring different movement forms and themes. Through different types of movements, participants can create and explore various themes such as exploring aggression, with tension and high-energy movements.
We love some ball pit fun in our Move.Explore.Play group where creativity & exploration guide us! We provide movement opportunities and are not using a specific type of dance form but allowing young people to move freely and organically as themselves. We encourage our young people to be their authentic selves and use their natural body movements to create, explore, and express themselves.
Drafted Floor Plan of perspective space to build out & renovated our dream space! Your contribution will go towards the build-out of a new therapy and community center for our services. At SKKIM we create space for young people to tap into their primal and natural body movements to explore and become their own artists, build an internal and external sense of safety, and form connections. In our new space, we will include open fitness, recreational, play, and cheerleading area, a sensory gym, a dance/studio space, and various counseling offices for individual services. This space is centrally located with plenty of foot traffic for community members to access our services. With your help, we will be able to make this dream a reality! Please consider making a contribution towards building the SSKIM space.
Catch us exploring sensory shapes during relaxation to support regulation. We value and honor individual sensory needs in our spaces. Through regulation there is co-regulation and we are able to support young people in building self-awareness and regulation skills. In our build-out of a new space, we aim to build a sensory space to allow participants a private space to explore and meet sensory needs.
Meet the team...Featuring your 2 founders and 1 of our lovely interns as we pose during our Fall community event in our favorite costumes. We love being able to support our community & offer dance and movement events during throughout the year with other local organizations. Our SSKIM staff are joined by other BSW/MSW interns, trainers, and additional support staff. As we expand, we will grow our team to include more clinicians and trained/expert staff in various movement forms. Making a contribution today will support our SSKIM space build-out and being able to bring on more staff to increase our service offerings to the community.
