Just for Girls News:
YWCA hosted "Mother - Daughter Night" for all of its program participants in May
Recently, we hosted our bi-annual Mother - Daughter Night for our Just For Girlsparticipants and their moms. As an empowerment program for young girls, the YWCA believes strongly in supporting the formation of healthy family relationships. A supportive family relationship is one asset that can not be taught yet is irreplaceable in its importance.
The YWCA Pasadena-Foothill Valley strives to support health in family relationships by providing space for communication, connection and shared experience among the daughters and their mothers. Our hope is that this night can be a starting point or a night of positive connection that will allow the mother - daughter relationship to grow.
We are indebted to the service of Planned Parenthood for assisting us on this night and facilitating an activity focusing on "Opening the lines of Communication between Mothers and Daughters."
