Mental Health & Wellness
Join us for an event focused on promoting health and wellness, beginning with a personalized self-care plan, then enjoying stress-relieving activities, such as games and coloring!
Mental Health Wellness Event
- Wednesday, January 15, 2023
- 6:00-7:00 pm
- CTC Kitchen (located on the second floor of the Community Center)
It’s important to take good care of ourselves, including our mental health & wellness. After all, life can be stressful and difficult. Thinking intentionally about how to take care of ourselves makes it more likely we’ll do so. In this activity you’ll design a plan for how to take good care of yourself when you really need it. You’ll start by recognizing stressors in your life, your typical coping methods, signs you need more self-care, and finally by designing a self-care plan.
All ages welcome. Snacks and beverages provided.
