Dear College of Education Staff and Faculty,
Welcome back to a new semester of COE staff and faculty self-care. This spring we will continue some of our popular activities, like mindfulness, presentations on holistic health practices, and nutrition guidance. We are also in the process of scheduling some other sessions, including self-care and the arts, travel and self-care, and advocacy self-care. We feel that this last topic of stress-related advocacy and how to take care of ourselves is especially timely. We will start off the semester with a presentation by David Boyns and Doug Kaback about campus-wide self-care activities available through the Institute of Health and Well-Being. They will also present on some excellent community programs: Bridge to the Future, community gardening, etc. This presentation will be on Feb. 7th from 11:00-11:30 in Ed 1214, so make plans to attend now! Please look for weekly emails on upcoming self-care activities, and keep checking the website for additions about self-care events and resources at http://www.csun.edu/eisner-education/self-care
Below are some February self-care activity highlights:
