We had a super fun second annual Staff Wellness Day!! This year, our Staff Wellness Day landed on International Self Care Day, fitting considering La Casa’s Wellness Day was first put together to recognize the need for self-care in our field, particularly for our amazing team that provides direct support to survivors of domestic violence and their children. We extend a special thank you to our adorable SF SPCA friends, @alex.thegreat100 and @trudyonduty_sf , whose presence added an extra layer of joy to the day.
