How to Cultivate the Skill of Well-being
January 22, 2021
8:30 am–12:30pm CST
The Great Lakes MHTTC presents this workshop for providers in HHS Region 5 (IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, and WI) in partnership with WAFCA, the Wisconsin Association of Family and Children's Agencies.
We all aspire to high levels of happiness, yet this is a goal that evades many of us. What should we know if we too aim to become a happy—or a happier—person? In this four-hour workshop, Dr. Pelin Kesebir will answer this question, relying on the latest findings from well-being research. Participants will gain a better sense of how to cultivate well-being through small, daily activities.
Responding to COVID in Our Everyday Lives: Evidence for What Works
For many of us, the accumulated stress, grief, fatigue, and despair of the Covid-19 crisis pose a significant challenge to our coping resources. While this perfect storm of stressors may be unprecedented, there is much we know about how to cope with and manage stress, even at these levels. In this talk, Dr. Jonathan Kanter will describe new research on predictors of coping with the crisis and effective interventions for reducing depression and loneliness during the crisis. Recorded on December 17, 2020.
