New Year, Old You! Positive Reflections on the Past Year

Jan 2, 2025 | Mental Health Ministry, Stronger Together Support Group

Hello all,

This week we’ll discuss what we’ve learned and gained from the year, how or whether to make reasonable mental health goals, and facing challenges for the coming year.

Here is a short video we’ll watch:

Warmup question: What’s your best or most memorable New Year’s party/event/experience?

Wednesday Thanksgiving Check-In

Nov 21, 2023 | Mental Health Ministry, Stronger Together Support Group

Hello friends,

First off, thank you so much to Sampson for stepping in and facilitating last week’s conversation. I am so grateful for the support!

It’s Thanksgiving week as you surely know, so instead of our normal Thursday evening discussion we’ll have a brief (usually 30-minute) “holiday check-in” Wednesday at 7 p.m. instead. There’s no predetermined discussion topic, just an opportunity to see how everyone is doing, offer an encouraging word of support, and maybe swap a recipe or two. It’s a wonderful way to add a little joy to your day.

We still have a warm-up question this week, so get ready!

Making small talk can be fun for some people, and awkward for others. What’s a “go-to” question you use to initiate small talk with someone you don’t know well?

See you soon,
Alex
