During the fall of 2023, Dr. Cynthia Wilcox joined us for a 3-part Workshop Series on the topic of Mental Health. The experiential workshops focused on skills for the FAD journey, including how to process overwhelming thoughts and emotions, strategies and skills for caring for our own physical and emotional wellbeing, and learning how to make room for beauty and joy in addition to sorrow.
