When a difficult event or crisis happens, it sends shockwaves. Unpredictable critical events are challenging for the people directly impacted, but witnessing the consequences and impact on the news or social media can also be triggering. Even those who are not directly affected can experience feelings of uncertainty.
Join this discussion group to talk with others about how to manage difficult emotional responses and cope in healthy ways when experiencing a crisis on an individual or cultural level.

Do you feel like there are so many things going on that you don’t know where to start and need a few minutes to just…be? If this sounds like you, you’ll want to join this Gathering. Pause your daily activities and to-do list to engage in a mindfulness meditation activity. You will be encouraged to embrace stillness and slowness for 30 minutes to reorient yourself and be more present throughout the rest of your day.
Join this space to practice the art of being fully present in the moment.

Anxiety can be uncomfortable. From worry thoughts to sweaty palms —the way it shows up can cause us to miss an important fact about it. It signals to us that we care about the future and want it to go well. When anxiety is at manageable levels, it can help us stay safe or boost our chances of success—the key is to learn how to cope with it. In this educational webinar, you’ll learn tools to help you manage anxiety and learn when it can help to reach out for professional mental health support.

Sometimes, stress can be a helpful motivator. Other times, if it’s overwhelming and unending, it can harm your well-being. In this webinar, you’ll learn research-backed strategies to stay afloat during stressful times—including how to interrupt the stress response and take a more mindful, calm approach to daily life.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) leaders are part of the heartbeat of their organizations, inspiring innovation and connection every day. DEIB work is both crucial and deeply personal—and, as a result, can be equal parts fulfilling and draining.
Join this Gathering to connect with other DEIB leaders to discuss the successes and challenges of this work, how to make your efforts feel more sustainable, and how to practice self-care along the way.

Everyone feels down occasionally. But if those feelings stick around or interfere with your daily life, they might be a sign of something more. In this workshop, you’ll learn about everyday low moods and explore some of the differences between day-to-day slumps and a clinical diagnosis. You’ll discover strategies you can start using right away to cope with everyday sadness, and learn what professional mental health support for depression can look like and how to access it when you need it.

For many, seeking mental health support can feel like a mystery. How do you know when you need it? What happens when you meet with someone? What should you expect? This webinar will walk you through it all—addressing the most common questions people have about working with a mental health professional and giving you a better idea of what mental health support is like.

When life feels dull, it’s easy to feel checked out—like we’re all just going through the motions. But how do we move forward? The path to more joy and fulfillment is found in positive psychology, or the study of how humans live well. In this workshop, we’ll share science-backed strategies for living well—including practical ways to bring more balance, purpose, and joy into your day-to-day routine.

Every person’s brain is unique, kind of like a fingerprint. However, our jobs don’t always account for neurodiversity and the different ways people learn, work, communicate, or manage their environment. In this workshop, you’ll explore the full experience of neurodiversity at work. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies for thriving at work while protecting your mental health.

Coming back to work after a vacation is never easy. You might feel overwhelmed by the tasks waiting for you—and discouraged by the stark contrast between your time off and your everyday reality. Thankfully, there are ways to make the shift a lot more manageable. Join this Gathering to discuss the challenges of heading back to work after a vacation, plus self care strategies to manage stress and maintain your mental health during the transition.

Jewish American identities are complex, rooted in a rich, yet often sobering, history. For millennia, Jewish people have persisted in the face of antisemitism, which continues to endanger the community today.
In this context, it’s essential to create spaces for support. Join this Gathering during Jewish American Heritage Month to talk with other Jewish Americans about ways to honor your identity, promote safety and belonging, and safeguard your mental health.

The start of a new year often brings expectations for change and the desire to accomplish certain goals. As we all know, though, these resolutions are much easier said than done. Join this Gathering to talk about how to set reasonable goals for the new year and work toward actually achieving them. Because it’s definitely happening this year, right?
