At Samoshel, individuals who are homeless participate in what's known as "Empowerment Workshops." Volunteers and shelter residents meet in groups to empower one another to believe:
- I have a more effective way to communicate with myself and others.
- I am a deserving human being. I have a right to ask for and expect something in life.
- I respect myself and others.
- I have the power to choose.
- I have more strengths and abilities than I imagined.
Workshop topics have included perspectives, resilience, communication, and goal setting, among others.
