Growing Wellness: How to Care for Your Mental Health
This is the audio from the monthly meeting of the farmer-led mental health group, Growing Wellness. This month's guest is Monica Kramer McConkey, a licensed professional counselor, Rural Mental Health Specialist, and consultant with Eyes on the Horizon Consulting.
In this session, Monica discusses building personal resilience in 4 areas (Social, Biophysical, Psychological, and Spiritual) to increase your capacity to deal with stress and uncertainty. Personal resilience is defined as the ability to withstand or recover from difficult situations, and I would add... the ability to grow through that process. The goal for this session is to learn about yourself and set goals to build your resilience!
Growing Wellness Group meets monthly for a brief presentation followed by discussion. The group also has a listserv. Click to learn more and join in this community.
