July Highlights: The Quiet Power of Wellness
With one full month of summer still ahead, we’re embracing the sunshine and the spirit of growth here at Centers For Opportunity (CFO). Our July Newsletter is all about wellness — the quiet yet powerful practice of caring for ourselves so that we can show up fully for our goals, our relationships, and our communities.
Why Wellness Matters
Wellness is more than a checklist — it’s about creating space for peace and purpose in our everyday lives. From taking a quiet walk in the morning light to pausing for a heartfelt conversation, the small choices we make help anchor us in clarity and resilience.

Virtual Programs: A Growing Community
CFO Virtual continues to thrive with daily, afternoon, and evening groups that bring hope and healing right to participants’ homes. This month’s theme, “Facing and Overcoming Through Personal Autonomy,” inspired J.P. to share how CFO’s online offerings complement his health journey, helping him stay grounded and engaged.
