When we care for a loved one who is dying, we experience many emotions, including sadness, confusion, shock, anger, fear, and regret, among others. We often don’t know what to say, how to plan or how to comfort the person who is dying. This session will take a holistic look at end-of-life issues, including navigating care needs (including hospice and palliative care), what to expect during the dying process, and how to cope with the emotions that arise. We’ll also look at myths surrounding death and dying and how to support your loved one physically and emotionally.

If you’re struggling with challenges and uncertainty about your personal or professional life, and you’re not sure what to do next, this session is for you. We’ll discuss some simple but powerful questions to ask yourself to help you get “unstuck”. The benefits of asking each question will be discussed, and participants will have an opportunity to try responding to all of them.

Although most people think estate planning is for just the elderly, it is actually important to everyone else, too—especially for those with minor children, substantial assets or unusual circumstances. Estate planning can allow one to make decisions on who receives his or her estate, make arrangements for disability, medical care and guardianship for minor children. Properly done, estate planning can remove many burdens from surviving family members during a stressful time.

This one hour webinar is scheduled for Tuesday February 1st, 12:00 pm PST.

Join us for a candid discussion about how the challenges of the last two years and the stress of living in ongoing uncertainty have impacted our mental health.  We’ll talk about strategies to increase self-compassion, have open conversations about one’s needs, and the importance of self-care. You’ll leave the session with take-aways on how to implement changes in your daily routine.

There are many speculations about the cause of this phenomenon from an increasing sedentary lifestyle, the ready availability of high caloric foods to stress and even sleep deprivation. However, if people ate only when they were truly hungry and stopped when they were full, there would be no obesity epidemic. This workshop will address the relationship between emotions and food consumption and how to retrain your body and mind to recognize the cues of hunger and to eat for physiological and not emotional reasons.

Walking is a common source of exercise for many people, and it has well-recognized physical health benefits. But, did you know there are mental health benefits to walking, too? Anyone who walks for any reason could also be enjoying these benefits. This session will look at the benefits of meditative walking and walking in nature. Participants will review ideas for getting started with both types of walks, as well as labyrinth walking. The possible benefits of walking barefoot in grass, known as “grounding,” will also be presented.

Your body responds to the way you think, feel and act. This is often called the “mind/body connection.” When you are stressed, anxious or upset, your body tries to tell you that something isn’t right. For example, high blood pressure might develop after a particularly stressful event, such as the death of a loved one. People with good emotional health are aware of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. They have learned healthy ways to cope with the stress and problems that are a normal part of life. They feel good about themselves and have healthy relationships.
