모든 Yafe 뉴스
The soft pastel yellow of Yafe House stands out against the grey houses nearby, radiating warmth and welcome. Stepping inside the workshop, I’m instantly surrounded by a calm, peaceful vibe. It’s like a little haven, tucked away from the chaos and hustle of the towns I pass through to get here. Gentle morning light filters in, adding a cozy glow to the neatly arranged room. Yafe House is more than just a workspace—it’s a place for healing and growth. Here, women who have faced trauma find both employment and a path to recovery, guided every step of the way by Jen, the kind-hearted founder.
British psychiatrist Frank Lake (1914–1982) spent his career observing how people approach their work and cope with burnout. He noticed a key difference between those who chase acceptance through achievements and those who understand their own worth and draw strength from within. Many begin with the belief that reaching goals will bring them significance, but Lake saw that true resilience begins with knowing who we are.
Returning to Yafe House after two months away truly felt like coming home. Walking through those doors again, I was met with a sense of joy, knowing our small, dedicated team had kept everything running smoothly—and not just that; they’d thrived. Their sewing skills have taken flight, and their confidence has grown remarkably. They managed so well in my absence.
