Understanding Worry and Anxiety: April 19, 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Working Through Change and Transition: April 21, 9 to 11 a.m.
Life is a state of constant change. Some of these changes may be profound and overwhelming, some may be voluntary while others may be out of your control. While you may not be able to control the change, you have control over the transition. This session will highlight steps for working through transitions and self-care practices.
Building Resiliency: April 27, 1 to 2:30 p.m.
We all juggle personal, family, social, financial, and work demands. Most of us do well, but any of us could be blindsided by an unexpected crisis or overwhelmed when stressors start to pile up. This session will help you create a plan to improve your resilience and develop healthy coping strategies to deal with life's challenges.
