The Amala Foundation fosters and sustains community-led wellbeing
As more of our interactions take place virtually, learning and practicing the relational skills needed for healthy relationships, collaboration, and conflict resolution becomes more essential.
The Amala Foundation trains facilitators, our Community Specialists, to bring
these learning opportunities to schools, workplaces, and communities to keep Central Texas connected.
Our Programs
Since 2017, the Amala Foundation’s Circle Up program has trained local leaders to facilitate community circles focused on healing, self-awareness, and mental health. Rooted in the belief that care starts within our communities, Circle Up creates safe, supportive spaces grounded in the World Health Organization’s model for accessible mental health care.
At the Amala Foundation, we believe that cultivating strong, connected teams starts with the wellbeing of each individual. Our professional development programs are designed for organizations and businesses that want to build healthier work cultures rooted in emotional intelligence.
Amala’s Facilitation Training is an immersive and trauma-informed program designed for people who want to bring healing, connection, mental health literacy, and opportunities for civic engagement to their communities. No previous formal training or facilitation experience is required.
The Amala Community Center is a space for community-led wellness, offering classes and gatherings that support emotional, physical, and social wellbeing. It’s a place to build connections, practice self-care, and support those doing vital work in our communities.
When people gather with care and purpose, understanding grows, communities strengthen, and schools and workplaces become more welcoming and effective.
Everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued — we create spaces where people feel they belong.
