These student artists promoted positive mental health through creative expression, and the CLAA thanks them for their hard work and time!

Women who attended the event shared feedback, including that they enjoyed teaching about
women's health education from Dr. Rivas. Many women shared that they learned about gestational diabetes for the first time. Collectively, mothers felt motivated to advocate for their daughters and nieces, who are pregnant, to lead healthy lifestyles after being informed about complications that may arise due to gestational diabetes.
