TAPS Talks: Empowered Coping
April 20, 2020, 2:00 PM-3:00 PM Eastern
“How are you?” is a question we hear often - it’s part of our default social repertoire. Yet, it doesn’t always signal the start of a conversation with genuine connection. Join us for a conversation about conversation as we explore how to ask and answer in ways that are truthful, authentic, and productive - and that deepen and strengthen feelings of belonging and connection.
This TAPS Talk is presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®.
