This Thursday, VA Providence hosted an insightful and transformative training session, "The Power of Forgiveness," led by Anthony Labelle and Chaplain Alexander Calikyan. The


training explored the profound impact forgiveness can have on our emotional well-being and relationships. Key topics included understanding forgiveness as a thoughtful, voluntary choice made


without personal gain, the importance of moving towards a stance of wishing the offender well, and the concept that true forgiveness is unconditional—not a negotiated settlement or


agreement. This powerful session reminded us of the healing potential in letting go and embracing a mindset of compassion.
