This event has been cancelled by the CMHA.    Many of us had a plan for what 2020 would look like, and COVID-19 likely wasn’t included in that plan.  Day to day life feels out of our control right now, but we can control our own emotional responses to this “new normal”. Practicing mindfulness and gratitude can transform the brain and help us feel more peaceful and less reactive.  We can’t be anywhere else but where we are right now.  Working toward accepting this new reality can put us on the path toward new strategies to deal with it.

It is recommended that staff attend all 3 parts to the series, especially if attending the later sessions, unless you already have experience painting with watercolours.

Imposter syndrome is a false and sometimes crippling belief that one's successes are the product of luck or fraud rather than skill.  People who experience imposter syndrome may feel like a fake, feel that everything is down to luck or feel undeserving of their accomplishments. Join this workshop to increase self-awareness of imposter syndrome and identify proactive strategies to enhance wellness. Learning Objectives
