At the 19th Annual NYC Conference for Working Peer Specialists
Our CEO Cathy presented on behalf of Healing Through The Art Of Prevention LLC and sat on the CEO from Baltic Street keynote. She was an amazing keynote speaker and addressed many concerns in the world.
In Cathy Kent's workshop, she showed participants how to create healing spaces for young people. she connected with them with these words, "It's not about money; it's about showing people that you accept them for who they are and that everyone deserves to live in this world. People should not feel like they have to change themselves to fit into society. Just like anyone else, they should feel seen and loved for who they are. That’s how we begin to act human again. It’s not all about money; it’s about LOVE. Be kind to people!"
People should be able to be who they want to be—not to seek approval, but to be respectful. Unconditional love doesn't require much effort; you simply see people for who they are and act accordingly.- Cathy Kent
In this workshop she didn't lead it they lead the workshop because the truth is they knew the knowledge it's about bringing it out of people the same thing applies to young people !
