YWCA partners with United Way and Family Resiliency Center

August 18, 2020

YWCA has partnered with The United Way of El Paso County and El Paso United Family Resiliency Center (FRC) to provide immediate relief in response to the August 3rd tragedy in our community. FRC serves any individual impacted by the trauma of August 3rd –directly or indirectly. This includes children, seniors, families, and individuals.

The FRC and these YWCA classes are open to any member of the El Paso community who may feel the need to participate in healing activities as a result of trauma induced by the tragedy.

As part of the non-traditional therapies offered to help boost the effectiveness of traditional therapies, YWCA is offering FREE YWCA memberships for those who qualify and free movement-based healing sessions at each of our locations. These weekly sessions are offered to provide a resource that has been proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and negative feelings. The schedule for these classes is below:
