Project description:
The Self-Care for Parents Community Circle was held in the winter of 2025 and offered in both English and Spanish in Odell.
Parents joined Emily Martin, mindfulness teacher and Gabi Pacheco, instructional assistant, for 4 community wellness sessions focused on effective mind-body strategies for stress-relief, mindful parenting, and emotional regulation.
This safe circle focused on connection, parent support, and straightforward, helpful tools for cultivating presence, joy, and peace. The goal was to nurture and care for ourselves together, build capacity for greater resilience, and walk away with tools to use later.
Every time I get upset, and I take a few deep breaths, I will think of you–ha ha!
