Fall 2019 Wellness Workshops for  women were a great success!
What a group of AMAZING women. It was graduation day on October 10, 2019 for the "Creating a Healthier Lifestyle: Holistic Wellness" classes. We met for two afternoons a week for four weeks, learning about and discussing how the "Eight Dimensions of Wellness"         ( Social, Emotional, Spiritual, Intellectual, Physical, Environmental, Financial and Occupational) work together to build strength and support in our lives. ​
The Prison Family Bill of Rights...
Was developed by a group of advocates attending the 2012 National Prisoner Family Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Demeter Foundation was proud to be part of this process. Families still struggle today to be treated with dignity and respect.
