3-03 Combatting Anxiety/Stress/Pressure: Using SEL Strategies to Revitalize Parish Culture

Today's tech revolution, driven largely by smartphones and social media, is battering human connections and overtaxing our collective nervous systems, leaving faith communities with epic levels of anxiety, stress, and pressure. This workshop will demonstrate how to integrate proven, research-driven Social Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies along with time-tested Catholic spiritual practices. Participants will practice five unique SEL skills during this session. Participants should expect to leave this session feeling encouraged and revitalized.
