We wish we could meet in person as we usually do for our annual membership meeting, but we are thrilled to be able to meet virtually and share with our members all the work we are doing to strengthen our affiliate.
We are excited to launch live online events with Britt Turpack, one of NAMI WLA's peer teachers and Ending the Silence presenters! Britt is also a certified yoga instructor who has recently completed Brown University's course on mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and will lead us in a series, "Self-Care Sessions with NAMI WLA."
First one: Saturday, May 23, on Zoom (info coming soon!)
