2-Part Workshop
Having a strong sense of meaning and purpose is a strong factor in our wellness journey. Meaning helps us to make more sense of our moments, whether positive or challenging. Purpose provides us with a feeling of fulfillment and gratitude, despite our circumstances.
Think about it. Have you lost a sense of your WHY? Perhaps you have been in a constant search for your purpose in life. Ask yourself. Do you feel like a flat tire in your personal, professional, or social relationships? Are you looking at your world through a jaded lens? Maybe you are tired of trying to figure it all out on your own?
If you are feeling bleak about your life possibilities, then please join us for this experiential workshop. Come share, actively participate and learn applicable strategies that will move you toward the life that you desire. Together, let's examine, reflect, explore, and develop a more purposeful approach to building more meaning and purpose in our lives.

About the Summer 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 Summer Series is 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
