A one-hour session on how to build a toolkit for better self-care and how to recognize when to use those tools.

Learn new techniques to help improve your self-care routine and receive some new resources to try out.

Class Objectives:

I am aware of stressors that can affect mental health.
I can identify and describe self-care techniques that can help manage stress and help my overall well-being.
