About this Event

CCFW does not provide mental health or substance use treatment or services, nor do our mindfulness and compassion-based courses substitute for diagnosis or treatment for mental health or substance use problems such as depression, anxiety, or addiction. Find a list of mental health resources on CCFW’s resource page.

Join us for our monthly Community Drop-In with Shayla Collins. This is for our beloved parents & caregivers! We invite you to join us for a time of mindfulness, self-compassion & common humanity. You spend so much of your time caring for others, please join us for a very informal hour (or whatever you can commit to) of practice for yourself. Our goal is to reinforce the skills you have & to support your well-being so you can continue to give enough to everyone else, both personally & professionally. We welcome all parents & caregivers to participate, and look forward to an impactful time of engagement, community & learning.

Dates

This recurring drop-in will be held the 3rd Thursday of each month from 7-8 PM Pacific Time.
