Description
Please join us for a conversation on how to navigate difficult conversations with your children and family regarding race, racial tensions, and mental health. You will learn how to destress using some mindfulness techniques to assist you and your loved ones through these times of heavy protesting, racial tensions, and COVID-19 practices. This discussion will serve as a platform for all of us to begin having these conversations with others around us in a productive way and to open the door to future conversations.
