Wellnest’s Post

💚 This week, Dr. Lea Velez and four students from the Texas State University School of Social Work visited Wellnest. The group had a tour of our University Park building, therapy rooms, the family resource center, and they were kind to donate school supplies to our Back-to-School event on Jul 27th! 📚 💚 These visits promote fellowship among similar programs, and we have the opportunity to share information and best practices, which Wellnest highly values! This is the third year Dr Velez has visited Wellnest with students, and we look forward to continuing our partnership! #texasstateuniversity #wellnest #wellnestturns100

In observance of Independence Day, Wellnest will be closed July 4th. We wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday! ✨ 🇺🇸 ✨

🎓 Wellnest is honored and excited to announce that our Chief Program Officer, Paco Retana, delivered the commencement speech to the UCLA School of Public Affairs master’s and doctoral graduates, and later, to the undergraduates. 🎓 We could not be prouder of him, and his role in the community both representing Wellnest, but also as the President-Elect of the UCLA Alumni Association...and just crushing his commencement speech! Bravo, sir!! 📸 : Todd Cheney

“Rejoicing in where we come from, and all of the possibilities of what lies ahead for black people in America” shares Shantel Wilson-McGee, Wellnest Clinical Supervisor, Wraparound Services.   Juneteenth commemorates the day when all slaves were freed in the United States. Shantel graciously shares what Juneteenth means to her and how Wellnest observing the day as a holiday, symbolizes solidarity.   #Juneteenth2024 #Juneteenth #Wellnest #WellnestCelebratesJuneteenth

❤️ Juneteenth honors the realized freedom and the struggle of the once enslaved Africans in the United States. Today, Juneteenth is an opportunity to celebrate Black Americans contributions to American culture and to honor the continuing quest for freedom, justice, and equality.  💚 Wellnest will be closed today in observance of Juneteenth. We invite our friends and followers to spend the day engaging, listening and learning more about the holiday. Consider attending a local Juneteenth celebration, and support Black organizations and businesses. 🖤 To learn more, visit the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. #Juneteenth #Juneteenth2024
