Celebrating International Women’s Day

Posted on

International Women’s Day is being celebrated today in the seniors programs at our Institute for the Hispanic Family and the South End Wellness Senior Center in Hartford. At IHF, the seniors listened to a program by Monica Contreras, a former clinician at the site who is now program supervisor for Parenting Support Services at St. Francis Hospital. Monica spoke to a group about self-compassion and the importance of loving yourself to be successful and have a healthy well-being. … At the South End center, the seniors celebrated with music and each woman was given a beautiful yellow rose.
