This program is an interactive conversation, rather than a lecture-style presentation. Audience members will participate through activities and discussion. Please allow 90 minutes for this program at your site. 

How do we find ways to take care of ourselves? Recent studies show that Americans report feeling more stressed than ever. In our complicated world, patience, understanding, and support may feel far away. We may find it difficult to practice empathy and understanding not only towards others, but towards ourselves. In this conversation, we’ll navigate the complexities of inner struggles and work towards cultivating self-compassion. Participants will practice resiliency strategies and learn self-care tactics that they can apply in their everyday lives.
