“I felt like [they] cared about my progress and that made a big difference for me. It felt personal, not clinical. It was more like talking to a friend and because of it, I was able to be open.”
Strong Minds Participant Testimonial
International Women’s Day Self-Care Gathering
On March 8, UCA WAVES hosted a Women’s Self-Care Gathering in celebration of International Women’s Day, bringing together more than 60 women and community members for an afternoon of connection, meditation, games, and homemade pastries. The event created a welcoming space to pause, build relationships, and focus on well-being—values that reflect the heart of the Strong Minds program. The event was led by Lei, our Strong Minds Program Lead, as part of our effort to expand our impact of this program.
