This week's blog serves as a deeper dive into the relationship between mental health and race. Last week we gave a wrap up of our 8th Annual Stand Against Racism event where we spoke about the link between mental health, race, and social justice.
Last Friday we hosted our 8th Annual Stand Against Racism at Seattle City Hall. This year's theme, "Mental Health Through the Lens of Race and Social Justice," explained how institutions like education, health, and criminal justice work to create barriers from childhood through adulthood.
This year we celebrated 20 years of our Snohomish County Luncheon. In this week's blog, we recap our Everett event, share photos, and discuss the takeaway from our keynote speaker Naomi Tutu.
For all of April, we have the special opportunity to celebrate the hard work of volunteers everywhere, especially those that dedicate their time to YWCA. We appreciate our volunteers no matter the time of year, but take this month to especially recognize the many ways they contribute to YWCA’s mission.
April 10 was all Women's Equal Pay Day, the day women's earnings "catch up" to men's earnings from the previous year. After decades of fighting, equal pay is better than what it has been in the past, however, we have not yet reached total equity for all women. In honor of this day, we share below some of what we're reading about Equal Pay Day.
We share the stories of our program participants, programs, and staff, as well as news about the agency and what’s happening in our King and Snohomish community.
