CALS Wellness Committee tip: Register for these timely self-care webinars offered via LifeMatters

The CALS Wellness Committee has partnered with LifeMatters, an employee assistance program offered via campus, to bring you three different self-care sessions during the first three months of 2023. Similar sessions were offered during the pandemic and were very well received. Please register for one, two, or all three sessions. We look forward to seeing you there – and feel free to invite your peers across campus to sign up.

Once you register, you will receive a Zoom link for the session. Later, closer to the date of the session, the link will be sent again and the CALS Wellness Committee may share some LifeMatters handouts. Registration links for all three sessions can be found here
