Sasha, a busy mother of four, attended the Community Education and Resiliency Program for the first time. Sasha attended almost every session of group, and as the weeks past, she became more and more comfortable sharing her experiences and opinions in group. She had recently moved to a new apartment, and she was proactive and sharing her case management needs and then following up to access those resources. She updated her SNAP benefits, enrolled her children in a new school, and connected to a community center in her new neighborhood. Sasha shared that the group was beneficial for her each week because it was “the only time I have for myself.” She talked about the stressors of having her children home with her 24/7, and how the group gave her a place to process those emotions and plan for a more positive future.
