Cabrini Immigrant Services – Dobbs Ferry (CIS-DF), held a workshop entitled: “Reiniciar y Recargar Energías: Por qué el Autocuidado es Importante (Reset and Recharge Your Energy: Why Self Care Matters). The workshop was presented by Betsy Suarez, a licensed mental health counselor. Betsy spoke about the importance of taking care of yourself so you can better care for others. Several ideas were shared about using different ways to help relax the body and calm the mind. Ideas such as keeping a gratitude journal, guided meditations, a walk and calling a friend, were discussed.
Everyone in attendance received hand cream and a lip mask. Betsy showed how to massage the hands using the hand cream. Another important piece that was shared was learning to say, ‘no,’ without feeling guilty.
Everyone left feeling energized. What a perfect way to feel as we prepare for the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.
The 2025 Mother Cabrini Shrine From the Heart Gala filled us with deep gratitude. Because of the generosity shared that evening, the Shrine can now move forward with restoring the chapel’s cherished triangular stained-glass windows—crafted in France in the 1960s and treasured by all who pray in this sacred space. This support ensures their beauty and integrity for generations to come.
