Burnout was an issue before COVID-19, so much so that the World Health Organization listed it in its International Classification of Diseases.

Gaslighting At Work
A team environment is one in which brainstorming, collaboration, and joint projects are the norms.

Learn coping skills and tact to navigate interactions when you are on the receiving end of being gaslit. 90 minutes presented by Andrea Gallaway.

We all know we need to eat better, but with increasing food costs, conflicting health and nutrition information, and our lives getting busier by the minute, it is hard to make good nutritional choices.

Reset and Recalibrate your Life
How long has it been since you last woke up truly excited for the day ahead of you? A week? A month? A year or more?

When was the last time you let yourself dream and set goals for what you wanted to create in your life in the future? The truth is, many of us have fallen into a pattern of merely surviving in life when we were designed to thrive. In this course, we will look at the common thought patterns, or mindsets, we fall into that have led us to get stuck in the rut of survival.

Dare to Dream! 60 minutes presented by April Stevenson (virtual only).
Understanding Grief and Loss (90 minutes)
Grief is a complex process that we all must experience at one point or another in this journey called life. It is not only emotionally taxing, but it is physical too.

Like chronic physical pain, we can develop secondary symptoms such as anxiety, depression, anger, weight gain, or addiction from chronic (or unintegrated) grief.

Aspects of Total Well-Being: Fun and Leisure (90 minutes)
