Celebrating Valentines Day with positive affirmations!

Residents in our Women’s Justice Program are spending February nurturing their relationships with themselves!  Art Therapist, Olivia Porter, has organized weekly group activities designed to help incorporate self-care into daily routines. Last week, residents spent the afternoon decorating ‘affirmation boxes’, small keepsake boxes to hold daily affirmations they’ve written for themselves. These statements serve as a reminder that whether it’s graduating from a substance abuse course or just getting out of bed in the morning, all accomplishments are worth celebrating, no matter the size.

Group activities like this are a great way for the women to get to know each other while strengthening their mindfulness, one of the many skills that are taught through our team of trained professionals.

 Happy Valentine's Day from all of us here at Providence House!
