Gratitude is the practice of affirming gifts and positivity in the world, coupled with the recognition from which these resources stem. The practice offers physiological, psychological and social benefits that improve our bodies, minds and relationships. In this workshop, participants will learn about the many benefits of gratitude and some simple, manageable and effective ways to cultivate gratitude in their everyday lives.
On July 5, the workshop is available at these times:
SupportLinc offers free, virtual monthly training sessions on the first Wednesday of each month.
