Activism & Mental Health: Supporting Resiliency

In challenging times, activists are at the core of courage and change. They put themselves on the front lines to fight for what is right, and sometimes their mental health can suffer as a result.

In this info session and discussion, Mary Alice and Mara will talk with guests on ways to balance your own needs while still showing up for the causes you believe in, including nervous system regulation, self-care techniques for resiliency, and coping skills for in the moment somatic relief.
