    CMHA Education Session on Anxiety

    Featured
    Fairlawn Avenue United Church 28 Fairlawn Avenue, Toronto, Toronto, Canada

    Stay with us after worship service on Sunday, March 23, for a workshop facilitated by Christina Gallo of CMHA (Canadian Mental Health Association) Toronto. We will provide a light lunch during coffee hour that will include sandwiches and crudité to take to your seats to enjoy as we transition from worship to our guest speaker. Fairlawners, like many in our community, are feeling particular anxiety about social justice issues close to our hearts and minds: poverty, climate change, 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, and the list goes on. Christina will share with us what anxiety is; the difference between the normal anxiety we feel vs. medical/clinical anxiety; how to develop empathy to help understand anxiety in others; and how we can best support our kids, families, communities and ourselves. There will also be a Q&A period.
