PABLO — On Friday, March 31, from noon 3 p.m. SAFE Harbor, 63506 U.S. Highway 93, Teresa Nygaard will present "Defining Domains of Wellness in Selfcare."What does it mean to feel well? There is no simple answer to this question because there are different aspects of feeling healthy or well for each individual. It’s not just about the absence of illness or stress, it’s so much more based on one’s life. The facilitator and participants will look at the domains of health and wellness. Each participant will have the opportunity to create their own selfcare diagram and plan.
Credits are available.
The training is free but registration is required. To register, send name, email, and contact number to helpinghandsfund1@gmail.com. Registration confirmation will be sent within seven days.
