Description

Join &Rise as we teach you how to use journaling as a coping tool for triggers and self care. Self care is essential in your healing journey and journaling is a very useful and helpful tool in your recovery. In this workshop we will talk about triggers and how to use journaling to cope through your trauma. One of the ways to deal with any overwhelming emotion is to find a healthy way to express yourself. This makes a journal a helpful tool in managing your mental health. Journaling can help you: Manage anxiety Reduce stress Cope with depression Journaling helps control your symptoms and improve your mood by: Helping you prioritize problems, fears, and concerns Tracking any symptoms day-to-day so that you can recognize triggers and learn ways to better control them Providing an opportunity for positive self-talk and identifying negative thoughts and behaviors When you have a problem and you're stressed, keeping a journal can help you identify what’s causing that stress or anxiety. Once you’ve identified your stressors, you can work on a plan to resolve the problems and reduce your stress. Note: Make sure to bring a journal and pen and be ready to write. & Rise is a 501c3 organization that empowers women of all ages, colors, creeds, and backgrounds. & Rise provides women with Personal and Professional Development Workshops, as well as Women's Empowerment Events. & Rise also offers mastermind workshops, group, and one on one coaching to single mothers who are entrepreneurs or to single mothers who want to pursue entrepreneurship.  The long term vision for & Rise is to provide single mothers with financial assistance for college tuition, supplies, and childcare.
