Description
This month, Emerge is focusing on Mental Health in the Workplace, led by Rae Bowerman of GENEX Therapeutic Solutions LLC.
The key takeaways of the evening will include:
-Resiliency: What it is, what it's not, and what it can look like put into practice for you.
-Mindfulness: See above points for "Resiliency"...same applies here!
-Self-Care: Not just a canned phrase to embroider on a throw pillow, much less a throw-away concept; how does this show up (or not) in your day-to-day?
