Join us for a series of online discussions facilitated by community professionals who will share science-based tools for handling stress and worry during uncertain times. Each program will begin with some educational information about how stress affects us and coping skills we can use, followed by a brief mindfulness exercise, and a discussion in which participants can connect with others and get support.
