This program highlights the importance of regularly checking in with yourself to recognize stress, emotions, and thought patterns before they become overwhelming.

Patrons will explore how consistent mental check-ins support emotional regulation, reduce stress, improve focus, and strengthen resilience. The session emphasizes awareness rather than diagnosis, helping individuals identify what they need in the moment—whether it’s rest, support, boundaries, or self-care. Through guided reflection, discussion, and simple grounding practices, patrons learn how mental check-ins can improve relationships, productivity, and overall quality of life.

By the end of the program, patrons will understand why mental check-ins are essential for long-term wellness and leave with practical tools they can use daily or weekly to stay connected to their mental and emotional health.
