Moving Through Crisis Together: Finding Meaning and Resilience in Anxiety and Grief
In this workshop we will discuss and offer practical steps to address the following questions as we navigate through this current crisis:
- Can I be anxious without knowing it? What can I do if I feel anxious?
- Am I feeling disappointment or grief? How do I attend to loss?
- How can I find meaning from this and step forward with resilience?
- What steps can I take to support and be supported by the body of Christ through these times?
