 In a time when so much feels uncertain, it’s easy to put ourselves last. This webinar is a chance to hit pause, breathe, and refocus on what we all need most — space to care for ourselves and each other.
The webinar will start with a short talk on mental health and self-care basics, including simple tools on how to build a personal self-care plan and how to check in with your mental health. Then, will move into a BRAVE Talk, a judgment-free space to Be Real, Authentic, Vulnerable & Empowered. Whether you want to share a win, talk through a challenge, or just listen in, this is your space to feel seen, heard, and supported.
