Open Mic Mentoring Monday
These are unprecedented times for sure. We are all having to change our routines, our work habits, our self-care habits and even our socializing habits. CREW SA recognizes the struggles, fear and isolation you might be feeling. To support our members we are starting an Open Mic Mentoring Monday program.
 
Come Zoom with us to connect and talk about:
  • The struggles you may be facing, your fears and challenges;
  • Any coping skills that have worked for you and might work for others;
  • What you’re doing for self-care;
  • How you are adapting;
  • How you are staying positive or look for ideas from others to get there;
  • Creative ideas to socialize, network and help each other.
 
This is an open dialog format where we can all share what has worked, what hasn’t worked and what we are trying. Maybe your success in adapting can help someone else!
