SELF CARE

Resilience is our ability to get through challenging circumstances, and come out even stronger and wiser on the other side. It is a foundational component of our mental health. Resilience is like a muscle, the more we train it, the stronger it gets. It grows through healthy and supportive relationships, taking care of ourselves and others, and asking for help when we need it. Join our friend Sarah Johnson for the Dinner Table Resilience video series and skills sheets on building resilience. Tips, topics, skills, and strategies that we can use at our own tables to build resilience in ourselves and others.

Thank you to our friends at the La Crosse Family YMCA for allowing us to promote these fantastic videos to our members!

June 10
