Mental Health Awareness Month and the Benefits of Self Care Practices
Wednesday, May 25, 2022
7:00-8:30 PM
For many of us, self-care means doing the things that we enjoy most to improve our quality of life. But several things can prevent us from engaging in regular self-care; whether it be prioritizing the care of others over ourselves, simply not having time, or may not be maximizing the effects of our self-care activities. Join some of the clinical staff from High Focus Centers as we present some of the evidence-based, therapeutic principles of self-care from licensed therapists.
Presenters: Clinicians from High Focus
Parent presentation- grades 6-12
Location - CHS Library
