Quotes from our participants
Reading and telling Stories to our children for Asian moms
“It was over zoom. No need to commute anywhere, and welcome children as well.”
“A great class to extend my English vocabulary and knowledge, "it helps with my English.”
“I learned about American culture, so now I know to call someone's house before showing up at their home.”
English Conversation for Latinas
“I liked the conversation with the teacher/facilitators and the group, we support each other. The videos, the tongue twisters were very useful. We learned so much with the practices in small groups/breakout groups.”
Surviving and thriving
“This series has helped with my self-esteem and self-value. I now know how to take better care of myself with positive self-talk, assertiveness, and believing in my own abilities, that I can manage my life.” (Surviving and Thriving, in Spanish)
“I learned how to breathe, to have a minute of silence because I am very agitated. The relaxation techniques gave me more hope of how to deal with stress because I am very agitated.” (Surviving and Thriving, in Portuguese)
“This group has been productive and helped me in my everyday life when it comes to dealing and managing my stress – though it will always be there and that’s not something one can get rid of, this group has helped me find ways to manage and deal with it as well as identify what the root causes of my stress and anxiety are. Because I learned what they are I was able to get rid of negative factors that contributed to my stress, anxiety and depression.” (Surviving and Thriving, in Spanish)
“I put skills into practice: time for self, stress relief.” (Surviving and Thriving, in English)
Reading and Writing Poetry
"I've taken other poetry classes and struggled. This group was so relaxed. It didn't matter if other people liked my poetry or not."
"I was nervous that it would be too technical, but it wasn't that hard. Being able to be creative was helpful to me."
