Mental Health Matters: A Wellness Workshop with Author Vanessa Autrey and Licensed Mental Health Counselor AnnLee!

Mental Health Matters: A Wellness Workshop

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re offering a Wellness Workshop to explore how we can integrate more well-being into our day. You’ll be co-led by Vanessa Autrey, best-selling Author of The Art of Balancing Burnout, alongside AnnLee, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Founder of Therapy For Her By Her. 

This dynamic duo will walk us through a variety of simple practices and mindful activities that will gently draw us back to health and balance in our lives. We encourage notebooks, comfortable attire, and an open heart to learn.
