About Us
Survivors of Negativity (SON) Survivors of Negativity (SON) is a community-based organization dedicated to helping youth, adults, and families overcome adversity by building the skills, confidence, and support systems needed to thrive. Founded on the belief that difficult circumstances do not define a person's future, SON creates opportunities for individuals to develop leadership, resilience, economic independence, and meaningful connections within their communities. Through innovative initiatives such as the SLICEâ„¢ curriculum, participants strengthen practical life skills in areas including decision-making, leadership, employment readiness, digital responsibility, and entrepreneurship. SON was created to address the challenges often experienced by individuals and families impacted by adversity, justice-system involvement, social barriers, and limited access to opportunity. By investing in people, strengthening families, and fostering community partnerships, SON works to create environments where every person has the opportunity to lead, contribute, and succeed.
