Dedicated time to reflect & heal is critical these days. In 2022, we’re facilitating weekly small group space for our Mariposas to learn about mental health, reflect, heal and gain tools to protect and care for their mind, heart & spirit. ❤️ #fpgbilingue #chccs #SaludMental

The work of assisting girls as they explore the delicate relationship between their mental health and their bodies has to start early. MariposasRise is proud to be engaged in the healing & empowerment of young Latinas in Central NC. ❤️

We’ve had only 2 María Heysha workshops of Journaling for Mental Health and Self-Awareness with our Mariposas. Their reflections, discoveries and commitment to themselves, their writing & their art has just been phenomenal. What a beautiful, refreshing impact. 🥰

Love yourself up. You are more than enough. 🦋Eres más que suficiente, amor.

Words matter. Some of our favorites: Uplift, heal, include, transform, connect, love. Education. ❤️ Educación

Todas y cada una de estas Maripositas nacieron de una guerrera. Amor, salud y paz a todas las mamás que luchan a diario para sacar a sus hijes pa’lante. #DiaDeLasMadres ❤️

👉🏽Being able to identify the beauty that remains true in the midst of chaos is a life-giving skill. Our Maripositas got to practice bearing witness to the joy & beauty that’s still abundant all around them. 🫶🏼

When was the last time you owned your wisdom, tú sabiduría? Ahora es hora. Now. #soymasquesuficiente

We know the potential lost. The brilliant lives extinguished. The faces of Uvalde, the faces of Mariposas. De NC a Texas, nuestro más profundo amor. En comunidad. 🦋🦋🦋
