From time to time we all have friends or family who suffer with low mood. When low mood persists, it is hard to know what to do, especially when you worry about making things worse. This program is about the very positive role you can play in other’s wellness. There are limits to the support you can provide, so it is important to know those boundaries. Then, once you understand those limitations there are many helpful and supportive conversations and actions you can be taking.
A trained Optum instructor will be on-site (zoom is available) for this event. Search for Mind, Body and Wellness series.
Participants will:
- Know how to overcome social stigma and start the conversation
- Identify questions to ask and actions to take
