 Cultivating Well-being, Resilience, and Effective Action amid the Chaos and Crisis of 2025: Helping Yourself and Others

Sunday, February 23, 2025, 4:00 -5:30  pm EST

An experiential workshop for mental health and healthcare clinicians

with SuEllen Hamkins, MD

As we face the tidal wave of chaotic actions that the current administration has unleashed, we can cultivate well-being, resilience, and effective action for ourselves and others.  This workshop supports us in clarifying and nurturing our intentions and values, identifying what brings us comfort and inspiration, and choosing ways to take effective action that fit our talents and opportunities.  Together, we can feel our power and our joy, as well as our grief and outrage, as we create practices that support us as we seek to support others.  We will apply these practices first on our own behalf, and then workshop ways to continue to support those who consult with us.
This is a free workshop. We list several favorite non-profit organizations to give generously on the registration page.
