When was the last time you paused to take a few moments to think about your overall wellness? Not a judgment-based critique of self, nor a self-blaming, gloom and doom session. Instead, a more in-depth review of how you have been managing the various areas of your multidimensional life.

During this 2-Part Workshop we will be exploring the various dimensions of our living using the Wellness Wheel. Taking a gentle, reflective approach we will self-assess our personal levels of life satisfaction in the following domains of health and wellness: physical, emotional/psychological, social and healthy relationships/digital connections, intellectual/cognitive, environmental/home, spiritual, vocational/occupational and financial/economic).

The Wellness Wheel is a visual tool used to encourage self reflection on your lifestyle, decisions and actions in relation to the categories. Based upon your assessment, you can then set realistic goals designed to bring more balance across the domains and target the areas in which you would like to increase more life satisfaction, fulfillment and happiness.

Come join our community as we share and learn ideas and strategies that will support us in developing and strengthening our self-care skills. As we near the end of the year, this workshop is an excellent, holistic way to look at the last 11 months in retrospect and to continue to build healthier lifestyle approaches as we usher in the new year!

About the Resilience Session Themes

After learning skills for workplace resilience - skills that help counter burnout, help prevent secondary traumatic stress, and help strengthen your work within your team and with those to whom you provide service - how do you sustain these skills? This Resilience Series is currently themed each month around one of the letters in CHIME - Connectedness, Hope & optimism, Identity, Meaning, and Empowerment.  Using CHIME can help you keep track of your own skills and check in with yourself on how you are doing.

Supported in part by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health

This Resiliency Series is specially offered for community members and organizations who through their work are First Responders or are involved with those affected by the Substance Use Crisis in Philadelphia.
