A Talk in the Park

Woods Talk: The Normal of Now
Tuesday, December 15, 7 p.m.

Lou Applebaum, LCSW-C, will lead a free, one-hour virtual talk, similar to a TED Talk from the valuable perspective of the mental health professionals in the Woods Counseling & Care Center.

You can expect an upbeat, practical discussion to equip yourself with coping strategies for the short term and hope for the long term. You’ll be given tips and tricks on how to assess yourself and your loved ones for wellness. Let’s find out how to best support one another right now. This seminar is designed for ANYONE and EVERYONE.
