September is Self–Care Awareness Month, an annual reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves and prioritize our mental wellbeing

September is Self–Care Awareness Month, an annual reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves and prioritizing our mental wellbeing. As we head into what is typically a stressful and busy time of year, we encourage you to put on your own air mask and center yourself for weeks and months ahead. Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s an essential practice for each and every one of us.

As our needs change, the skills utilized may need to shift as well. A strong self-care practice encompasses a variety of familiar strategies to implement on an as-needed basis.

In honor of Self-Care September, we invite you to join Shainna Ali, Ph.D., a mental health counselor, for a workshop designed to teach you actionable, research-based methods to tailor your self-care and cultivate wellbeing.

We invite you to bring a packed lunch from home or pick something up from Nourish Coffee Bar + Kitchen at the Center for Health & Wellbeing on your way into the program and use your lunch hour to improve your wellbeing.

This program is presented by Dr. Shainna Ali and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
