Face your fears workshop Oct. 26
How many times have you been told to face your fears? It’s easier said than done, right?
Everyone experiences fear, it’s a normal part of being human, and how we use that fear determines it’s impact on our mental health. At this online workshop with Jen Laxague, Assistant Director of UW LiveWell & Campus Health Promotion, you will learn strategies for examining and managing fear with more awareness and intention. With the right tools, fear can be a helpful teacher in our lives to help us grow.
