π Women's Health Week | Celebrating Connection, Wellbeing and Community π
As part of Women's Health Week, we're highlighting the positive impact of the Women's Middle Eastern Wellness Circle, which recently marked its 2nd Anniversary at Homestead Community and Learning Centre.
For the past two years, the group has provided a culturally safe and welcoming space where women can come together to build friendships, improve wellbeing, share experiences, learn new skills, and strengthen their connection to the community.
The anniversary celebration featured a shared lunch, a special cake, an engaging Art of Happiness wellness session delivered by ACAP Clinic, and plenty of music, dancing laughter, conversation and celebration.
The impact of the program is best reflected in the words of participants themselves:
β¨ "I am very happy in this group. It makes us happy."
β¨ "It helps me meet other people and communicate."
β¨ "Very empowering."
β¨ "I am very happy because it relieves our stress and helps us with ideas."
β¨ "Every week there is a new idea, relaxation, fun and trips to enjoy our time."
β¨ "Warm, positive, professional and empowering."
A special thank you to Wadad, whose dedication and leadership have helped create a program that participants describe as welcoming, supportive and life changing.
Women's Health Week reminds us that wellbeing is about more than physical health. Social connection, belonging, learning and supportive relationships all play an important role in helping women thrive.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. We look forward to many more years of connection, friendship, wellbeing and empowerment.
