This has been a chaotic year for nonprofit organizations. Financial instability, workforce churn and shifts in donor behavior have changed the dynamic of nonprofit operations. This kind of uncertainty can lead to increased stress and anxiety and have serious consequences for both mental and physical health.

Dr. Ann Friedman, Director of Workplace Wellness at Mental Health America, will share her recognized expertise in the fields of mindfulness and well-being. In this experiential workshop, you will learn practices to:

• Activate your system of rest and digest
• Notice and release unhelpful thoughts
• Calm strong emotions and connect with more rational thinking
• Learn to become comfortable with a “don’t know” mind
