We are pleased to introduce our new Celebrating Resilience Speaker Series where inspiring and influential community figures share their insights on important topics. In our inaugural event, we invite you to join Resilience Board member Dr. Crystal Clark for a discussion on mental health, wellness, and learning to be resilient in our current environment in the first of our brand new virtual Resilience Speaker Series events.

Thursday, December 3
Noon – 1:00 pm

People everywhere are being impacted by numerous strains on our mental health: navigating the “new normal” of the pandemic, balancing home life while working from home and/or homeschooling our children, and figuring out how to practice self care with so many demands on our time and energy. In today’s climate, survivors of a trauma are impacted more than ever before.

A Zoom link will be sent to registrants prior to the event.
