WeCOPE Wellbeing Lunch Hour Program to Begin January 12

No matter who we are, how long we’ve lived, or our specific life experiences – we all live and deal with stress. The World Health Organization defines stress as any type of experience that causes physical, emotional or psychological strain. It is your body’s response to anything that requires attention or action. Everyone experiences stress to some degree. The way you respond to it, however, makes a big difference to your overall well-being.
We have learned so much in the past few decades about the ways stress can both enhance our wellbeing and performance, and how it can negatively affect our physical and mental health when it becomes too much. We have also researched strategies and skills that can be learned to help us feel and live better. Managing life’s challenges in healthy ways allows participants to take better care of themselves and others.
Join us over seven lunch hours for an interactive program that helps adults cope with stress and difficult times. WeCOPE has been shown to reduce stress and depression, increase positive feelings, and improve healthy behaviors.
This FREE seven-week program meets via Zoom once a week for one hour. Participants gain the most from the program when they are able to practice skills between sessions. A workbook and journal are provided to support this practice.
WeCOPE will be held on Thursdays, January 12, 2023 through February 23, 2023, from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. Please register at https://forms.gle/qsN1pXrVUmSSkLBx9.
