Hosted by Lyra

Adolescence is a time of change, growth, and learning—posing many new challenges to both 
 teens and parents. This workshop will provide parents with a strong foundation to understand normative adolescent development and behaviors and when it is time to intervene and get help from a trained professional. We will also learn and practice specific, concrete skills to improve 
 your communication with your adolescent, manage unwanted behaviors, and increase your family’s overall quality of life. Once you are armed with the necessary knowledge and strategies to parent your teen effectively, you will increase your overall well-being and ability to enjoy your child’s unique personality.

When life feels dull, it’s easy to feel checked out—like we’re all just going through the motions. 
 But how do we move forward? The path to more joy and fulfillment is found in positive psychology, or the study of how humans thrive. In this workshop, we’ll share science-backed strategies for thriving, or living your best life—including practical ways to bring more balance, purpose, and joy into your day-to-day routine. Because the good life doesn’t magically happen, it’s intentionally built.

Helping the Helpers: Combating Compassion Fatigue (Caregiver)
Hosted by Lyra

People in job roles that support the well-being of others are providing a noble service, but that service can take a toll. Compassion fatigue can be the cost of helping people through their personal or professional challenges over an extended period of time—particularly when providing that support amidst the turbulence of a global pandemic. Fortunately, compassion fatigue is neither inevitable nor untreatable. This workshop will explain what compassion fatigue is, how it develops, and most importantly, how to combat it via practical, evidence-based strategies that encourage resilience, boundaries, and prioritizing your mental and physical health. With these tools, you’ll be equipped to prevent or reverse compassion fatigue no matter where you are on your journey.
