Online Workshop Series: Navigating Anxiety and Stress as a Young Adult
April 17 - May 21, 2024
This online workshop series for Young Adults ages 18 to 30 meets Wednesdays on April 17, April 24, and May 1 at 1 p.m. Eastern and on Tuesday, May 21 at 8 p.m. Eastern.
Life is challenging and circumstances can create stress and anxiety in our lives. As Young Adults, the pressures of life seem to pile on top of us without an end in sight. From navigating grief to balancing work, relationships, and school, the challenges of daily life can be overwhelming. Who has time to breathe or “catch-up” with the demands and responsibilities, in particular after loss or during phases of grief? Anxiety and stress can be debilitating if we don’t take the time to care for ourselves.
Join us as we learn to better understand anxiety and stress, how it manifests in each of us and what we can do to develop healthy self-care and coping skills.
Who Should Attend?
This program is intended for Young Adults ages 18-30 who are navigating life and loss while impacted by anxiety and stress. We welcome all who want to better understand what anxiety and stress are, how it manifests in each of us and how we can support ourselves through moments of anxiety and stress with the use of healthy self-care and coping skills.
