Empowerment Group:
Acculturating mothers meet every Thursday to learn and share experiences they face as they try to improve their family lives. Mothers learn new skills, such as embroidery and sewing, which increases their self-esteem in many areas of life. Within the Empowerment Group, women offer each other support and community speakers share expertise on domestic violence, health, education, and community integration issues. Call Mayela at 719-486-1690 or e-mail her, if you’d like more information about the Women’s Empowerment Group.
