Have you, or someone you know, felt overwhelmed by the election season? Do concerns about politics and current events create feelings of stress, uncertainty, or anxiety? If so, you are not alone.

Join Velshonna Luckey for a conversation about how election-related stress can affect our nervous systems and overall well-being. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and her work building resilient communities, Velshonna will explore what these feelings may mean for our nervous systems and share practical approaches for caring for ourselves and supporting one another during challenging times.
Participants will gain a greater understanding of the connection between stress, resilience, and community well-being, along with tools for navigating election season with greater awareness, compassion, and balance.
