We have exciting news! On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, Mariposa Women and Family Center is proud to participate in “Love is, a day to invest in Mental Wellness and Healthy Relationships,” a special giving day organized by the Orange County Community Foundation (OCCF). We’re thrilled to stand alongside 26 other vital community organizations, uniting for this crucial Mariposa Mental Wellness Giving Day.
Our Mission and the Mariposa Mental Wellness Giving Day
The theme of “Mental Wellness and Healthy Relationships” is at the very heart of our mission at Mariposa Women and Family Center: “Empowering women, men, children, and families to achieve positive changes in their lives.” We believe that fostering mental well-being and nurturing healthy connections are fundamental building blocks for positive change, aligning perfectly with the focus of the Mariposa Mental Wellness Giving Day.
Whether an individual or family seeks our support for mental health counseling, guidance through substance use challenges, or navigation via enhanced care management, the underlying goal is the same:
To build resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and strengthen the personal and relational foundations necessary for a thriving life.
Mental wellness isn’t just about feeling good; it’s about having the inner resources and supportive relationships to navigate life’s complexities – a fact highlighted by resources emphasizing mental health’s importance. This giving day provides a fantastic opportunity to focus support on these essential services.
