Mindfulness for Managing Political Stress 

Thursday, January 16, 2025, 12 to 12:30 pm,  Zoom Registration

The current political landscape is tumultuous. Along with this comes a distinct form of stress that’s come to be known as socio-political anxiety. Mindfulness can be a valuable tool for managing emotions and improving our ability to engage with the world.

Join Sarah Henderson, LICSW from the Faculty & Staff Assistance Office and Reverend Dr. Karen Coleman from Marsh Chapel for a live meditation to help you ease tension and find a sense of calm.
