Last week at Pasadena Villa The Grove, clients and staff came together for a colorful Healing Through Hues social centered around the theme of healing through the colors of the rainbow. 🌈

The day included tie-dye shirt making, a rainbow candy bar, and a collaborative healing banner filled with motivational messages and words of encouragement from both clients and staff. It was a meaningful opportunity to express creativity, build connection, and celebrate the healing journey together.

Moments like these remind us that healing can take many forms — including creativity, community, and self-expression.
