Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15-October 15

Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988.

Healing the Soul: Trauma and Grief a 1-Hour Discussion

This presentation is designed to address the impact of trauma and grief on individuals' lives. Participants will gain insights into the nature of trauma and grief, the resilience of the human spirit, and the pathways to healing and growth. Our goal is to educate and empower attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to support themselves and others through the challenging journey of trauma and grief recovery. By understanding the psychological and emotional aspects of trauma and grief, participants will be equipped to foster resilience and embark on a path towards healing and wholeness.
