May Deep Dive
The global pandemic in 2020 has caused many challenges in our lives both professionally and personally. Suddenly businesses needed to shut down, employees furloughed, operations restricted, kids home-schooled, spouses all working from home, and worst of all friends and family getting ill or dying. These unprecedented changes and circumstances are resulting in dramatic increases in stress, depression, and suicides among youths. Our member: Domingo Rodriguez will help us recognize the signs of stress and depression, and recommend some techniques for self-care and best practices to ensure we and our families can emerge from this pandemic healthier and stronger than ever.
This will be a valuable workshop for business owners and entrepreneurs for Overcoming Stress through Self Care. This workshop requires a $20 donation. When you register, you will be redirected to our payment gateway.
