In order to learn more about successful work-life balance and managing stress, the Faculty Staff Assistance Office will be leading us in a Mindfulness and Stress Workshop on Wednesday, May 6 at 3:00pm.
The FSAO will provide an introduction to the basic principles of mindfulness and a discussion of ways in which it can help reduce stress. This is a very important topic to help with work-life balance as many of us adjust to working from home.
Please RSVP for the virtual event here: https://forms.gle/ZYkyTtfeya4iKHQy9
The event will take place virtually on Zoom. Here are the meeting details below.
We hope you’ll join us and learn some techniques to help us manage stress during this hectic time.
