We are coming to the end of another year. What has gone well and what would you like to change? Are you trying to "survive" the holiday season or is there joy in the preparation and experience? Perhaps you have experienced loss in the past year or feel a sense of discouragement only more pronounced by the holiday season.
Please join our Dec. 8 Lunch and Learn, when we will explore stress, goals, life transition, managing the holidays and preparing for a new year with optimism and expectation!
Anyone who missed the chance to "Know Your Numbers" during the Open Enrollment and Wellness Fairs held on each 5X campus has one more opportunity on Dec. 10 from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. Register today while appointments are still available.
