Today we celebrate our incredible Occupational Therapy interns from University of Southern California on their last day with us💛
Meet Cassandra and Nancy, two bright souls who spent the last 9 weeks with us in our Spanish language programs. This was their very first fieldwork experience, they shared how welcomed and embraced they felt by the center.
They loved facilitating their own groups, creating meaningful check-ins centered around feelings, color expression, and gratitude. They opened the door for deeper connection, reflection, and healing with our members.
As native Spanish speakers, Cassandra and Nancy also navigated the unique experience of supporting within a fully Spanish-speaking center which they described as an experience that deepened their cultural connection and strengthened peer engagement in powerful ways.
“The peer interaction was amazing.” And we couldn’t agree more.
Thank you, Cassandra and Nancy, for pouring into this space. Your impact will be felt long after your time here. We’re excited to see all that you continue to do 💫
