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.
