RESILIENCE IN MOTION WALK: HEALING OURSELVES ONE STEP AT A TIME

445 South Church Street,Spartanburg SC 29306

29 April, 2023

Description

Grief affects both our bodies and minds. Moving the body and enjoying fresh air and time with others has been proven to help us cope with grief by improving mood, mental wellness, and physical health. Movement releases chemicals in our brains that bring positive feelings. Movement also improves sleep quality, reduces stress, and is a healthy outlet for emotions associated with grief including anger and depression. Join us for a short walk outdoors, a professionally-facilitated grief and wellness discussion, and lunch catered by Seed Thyme & Harvest, a local Plant Based Cuisine caterer. Walk will begin and end with a catered lunch at: Mt. Moriah Baptist Church 445 South Church Street, Spartanburg, SC 29306 *Join us again later in the day from 5-7 pm for the “BE KIND TO YOUR MIND” free event at Harvest Park (498 Howard St.) hosted by Mental Health America Spartanburg – J.W. Woodward Funeral Home is a sponsor!* Questions? Please email [email protected] or call 864.582.6751 ----------------------------- We are committed to going above and beyond simply conducting funeral services and memorials. We believe that life and death are so intertwined that they are inseparable. Our duty to our community, therefore, not only encompasses end-of-life services, but also life after loss – continuing care. Our work places us in a unique position to interact and build relationships. We recognize that our clients, friends, and extended family need continuing care. As human beings, we experience real emotions and real challenges. Each JWWFH Continuing Care session addresses a different aspect of grief, how it affects our mental wellness, and what steps to consider if/when it does. Each session will include a formal group session conducted by a licensed professional; a wellness-related activity; and conclude with resources and information for attendees to take additional steps if desired. We welcome you to take this journey alongside us. https://jwwfh.eventbrite.com Facilitated By Antoinette “Toni” Sanders Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice and Certified Grief Counselor Catered Lunch By Seed Thyme & Harvest Plant Based Cuisine
