Merry and Mindful: How to prepare yourself and your family for the joys and stressors of the holiday season.
The holiday season can be a wonderful time for families to be together, create memories, and find time to relax. But the festivities also come with high expectations that parents place on themselves, or that others place on them. In this interactive workshop, clinical psychologist, Dr. Rana Pishva, will help you identify what is really important to you and your family during the holidays, set reasonable expectations, and navigate challenging relationships.
