Have you ever felt that life is just too much? So much going on at once; the overwhelm; or perhaps you realize that you've been hiding in a cloud of busyness. Whatever your life story, we've all encountered moments where emotions can overtake us. This is your reminder to register for our breakfast mental health summit featuring Dr. Gloria Morrow on Saturday, November 16th at Rockwall Friendship Baptist Church. At the mental health summit we will unpack how positive and negative emotions play a role in our lives, examining the barriers of what affects our positive emotions and discussing strategies to navigate the negativity. You will leave with strategies for maintaining your positive emotions, even when things are tough. Please join us and bring a friend or neighbor as well. Open to all above the age of 18.
