Self Care
Wed, Dec 4, 7:30-9:00pm on Zoom
In recent days, many families have joined the ranks of our families who have loved ones with mental illness and experiencing – with us – the emotional world of sadness, disappointment, coping challenges, anger, frustration, etc. Welcome to our world – it’s not a fun one.
NAMI East Bay has been scheduling its educational presentations on the fourth Wednesday of each month, which this year falls on holidays. So we’re breaking with habit and scheduling a special evening zoom event on Wednesday, December 4 on the topic of Self Care – how can we take care of ourselves in stressful times?
Let’s gather and hear from Diana Winston, Director of UCLA Mindful and author of many articles and these books: The Little Book of Being, Fully Present, and Wide Awake. (www.uclahealth.org/uclamindful). We will also hear from Susan Davidson, practitioner of breathing exercises based on James Nestor’s book Breath. And we will talk about concrete self-care actions and, most importantly, hear from you. Come and share how you’re coping.
The holidays and winter weather bring their own contribution to stress and the addition of dealing with our loved ones and now the election has produced a “perfect storm”. Join us and feel free to invite non-NAMI friends to participate in our mental health-themed evening.
