Caring for Yourself in Stressful Times

Caring for oneself means taking time to do things for our own mental, emotional, and physical health. Often, we forget about self-care as we become stressed or overwhelmed, just when we need it most. Caring for oneself allows us to be more resilient and better manage stress, allowing us to do a better job of meeting our responsibilities. During this program we will review reactions to stress, introduce strategies for stress management, and offer suggestions for self-care.

Talking to Kids about Difficult (and Scary) Things

Sometimes the struggle is knowing that many of these things are out of our control and defy explanation. This workshop will offer age specific information and strategies to help discuss difficult topics, especially in this digital age.
