Peer-Led Wellness Program
The Peer-Led Wellness Program is an educational virtual classroom aimed to assist people struggling with mental health and/or addictions concerns. It is a safe, judgment-free space with support, encouragement, and tools to help individuals cope better with daily life. The program is a series of 2-week modules focusing on topics to help improve the overall quality of one's life. Not every session is mandatory. Participants can pick and choose which modules interest them the most. Join us and grow to be the best possible version of yourself.
We will be starting off with Personalized Self Care Plan. This is very similar to the Self-Care Plan I hosted during Mental Health Week last month. But feel free to sign up for whatever Wellness topics you are interested in!
