Managing Anger

Hello Stronger Together folks,

This week we’re talking about anger management.

Maybe the political turmoil we are currently experiencing is making you mad. How do we manage anger productively, since there is really no way we won’t get angry at times? Let’s talk about it. We’ll watch this mindfulness video on anger.

Warm up question: What is something that many people consider a modern-day convenience that you, quite frankly, consider a pain in the neck?

Forgive and Forget?

Hello Stronger Together folks,

Join us on Thursday, March 13, at 7 p.m. This week’s topic is Forgiveness.

We want to forgive those who do bad things or wrong us personally, but that is easier said than done. Let’s talk about the struggle. We’ll watch this short video on the complexity and personal cost of “forgive and forget (or not).”

Warm up question: What is your favorite way to help people less fortunate than you?

Workplace Stress Part II

Wow, I can’t believe they moved up that deadline, how can I can I get everything done by then? Oh boy, I have to tell my boss I have to miss the meeting because my daughter got into another fight at school. I heard there are going to be layoffs, am I on the list?

Workplace stress happens in many ways. Let’s talk about it.  Here is a short video to get us going.

Coping with Uncertainty

Many of us feel that things in our world might be changing, and we are not sure how the changes might impact us. Uncertainty is something we deal with regularly, from which college will accept my child, to what the doctor will say after analyzing the test results. This week in Stronger Together we will discuss Coping with Uncertainty. Please join us.

We’ll watch this video about Coping with Uncertainty.

Warm up:  When was a time you were sure that something would or would not happen a certain way, and you were wrong?
