About the event
American culture frames stress as a personal issue, something to be managed. But how do stressful events impact our capacity to thrive in community systems? Join journalist and health advocate, Rachel Kanarowski, for a hands-on session to map out your own nervous system. Together, we’ll learn how to recognize the warning signs of chronic stress, techniques for selecting effective activities for stress first-aid, and why we all need to make a self-care plan before burnout strikes.Â
