How to Improve Your Emotional Well Being

May 15, 2013

10:30 a.m. - Noon

There can be many things that cause stress in life, and there are lots of ways to be able to cope &Mࡲe just one of them.

Join presenter, Victoria Graham, as she leads participants in an activity and discussion on how to improve your emotional well-being.

If you have a good sense of humor and enjoy a light-hearted approach to difficulties, this workshop is for you.

If you do not have a good sense of humor, participate anyway and perhaps you may leave with the desire to cultivate one!

Do you have a brother or sister with a disability?

Brothers and sisters have the longest lasting relationship in a family.  Together they share joys and concerns and ups and downs throughout their lifetimes.  But when someone has a brother or sister with a disability, the dynamics can change or be different than other brother/sister relationships.  Often siblings do not have the peer support that is available to their parents.   Sibshops created by Don Meyer, Director of the Siblings Support Project in Seattle, Washington, and sponsored by the disAbility Resource Center (dRC), provide siblings with peer support through an interactive day of games and activities.

Two Sibshops are offered for siblings in May at the dRC:
