March is Women's History Month, and we are honored to spotlight female leaders who utilize their voices to effect change in their communities. Throughout this month, Care Solace has shone a light on women in the K-12 education sector, municipal leadership roles, and the mental health space. What you'll find here are stories of resilience. These women have conquered fears, navigated career transitions, endured heartbreak, and confronted various forms of trauma, all while dedicating themselves to becoming advocates for mental health awareness and breaking the associated stigma.
We honor Mayor Lori Stone of Murrieta for her incredible dedication to women's rights and mental health advocacy. Mayor Stone's resilience and commitment to mentorship showcase the transformative power of personal struggles.
As she boldly declares, the National Crisis of Behavioral Mental Health is the "#1 Crisis in America," underscoring the urgency for local action. Under her leadership, Murrieta flourishes as a city of safety and quality of life.
Learn more about the 3 Key Lessons Mayor Stone learned on her path to advocacy.

"If you know you have value even if you haven't found it yet, that's the magic."
Yolande shares a pivotal moment in her path to becoming a licensed therapist—a moment of meditation where she was inspired by a guiding voice, "What if most of your life is waiting on you to come and get it?"
This powerful realization led her to change her path and ultimately live a fulfilling life dedicated to serving communities. Her journey is a powerful reminder: It’s never too late to make a difference.
