Finding Hope & Healing

In the nurturing embrace of Lightshare Behavioral Wellness and Recovery’s Mothers & Infants program, mothers and their little ones discover a sanctuary of hope and healing, weaving together personalized recovery journeys that transcend adversity with resilience and newfound strength.

Art & Creativity

As part of our “Seeking Safety” group, mothers participated in a powerful exercise called the Dual Self Portrait, where they colored their faces to represent the different parts of themselves—often symbolizing the struggle between their past and the hope for a brighter future.

These portraits reflect the resilience, growth, and transformation of these women as they navigate recovery. Each piece is a personal expression of their path toward healing

Meditation & Wellness

Meditation stands at the core of the holistic wellness approach embraced by Lightshare Behavioral Wellness and Recovery. Through guided mindfulness practices, individuals in the program embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner peace. Meditation becomes a sanctuary for these seekers, offering a refuge from the chaos of life’s challenges. As participants engage in mindful breathing and present-moment awareness, they cultivate a profound sense of balance and mental clarity.
