Developing Resilience through Gratitude & Appreciation

Join us on Wednesday, April 20 at 12:00pm for the fourth in a monthly series on Building Personal and Community Resilience. In this workshop, participants will learn about the importance of expressing gratitude and appreciation as tools to increase well-being. Together we will explore the physical, psychological and interpersonal benefits of these practices and how to apply them in daily life.

This series was facilitated by Katherine Manners and Carolina Bautista-Velez, OVC consultants, two of the foremost authorities with decades of experience in trauma-informed practices to promote resilience.

Following the video replay, participants will engage in a live discussion facilitated by VOICES staff.
