Join EPL’s Social Worker Tabitha Ledbetter to learn about how to create your own Self Care Kit and explore ideas for what to include in it.
Make your Own Self Care Kit Virtual Session:
Life can be very overwhelming at times, and there are things we can do to take care of ourselves, soothe ourselves, or distract ourselves through a difficult time. One of these very tangible things is a Mental Health Self Care Kit filled with soothing things that can help us through a tough moment. This VIRTUAL presentation will provide an introduction on what a Self Care Kit is, how to create your own kit, and explore ideas for what to include in it. Participants will learn how to incorporate the five senses into the kits and be introduced to practical grounding exercises.
Follow up in-person drop-in workshops:
Participants are encouraged to take what they have learned from this presentation and create their own self care kits, either on their own or at one of two in-person drop-in workshops offered.
Visit us at the Robert Crown Branch on Saturday July 9th 11am-1pm or at the Main Library on Monday July 11th 5-7pm to pick up some self-care items, as well as information and resources to add to your Mental Health Tool Kit.
