The first cycle of Cabrini Immigrant Services of NYC’s 2024 support group “Voces de Mujeres” ended last week. We held 13 sessions where participants talked about forgiveness, self-care, grief, domestic violence, and healthy romantic relationships, among other topics.
Seventy-eight women attended at least 1 group, and 38 women attended at least 3 groups. Women shared that the group helped them in their healing process and to love and care for themselves. A client stated that “it helped me to trust myself and to recognize my strengths and to strengthen my weaknesses. I have learned a lot from the stories of my peers from the group.” Another stated that she learned to “love [her]self, take care of [her]self, to give [her]self, time.”
Thank you to our great group leaders Gloria Ivonne Moreno-Rodriguez, LCSW and Yaniris Ortiz. The next cycle will start in June.
