Summer is Here and Hope is Rising
We hope this Leadership newsletter finds you enjoying Summer 2023. Summer brings opportunities to get out and connect with the community. WNY offers everything from a hike in the local park to taking in a weekend festival and concert with friends and family. Summer is also a time to relax and reflect on you!
This month we kicked off the C&FS EAP Summer Wellness Series:
We have joined together with Lidia Snyder, LMSW, RYT, TCTSY-F, a licensed social worker and a trauma informed yoga instructor, to develop a guided wellness journey, exclusively for C&FS EAP members. Each week you will have the opportunity to learn more about the 8 Wellness Domains, receive some thoughts to ponder, a brief activity and some inspiration for what you might do differently.
**Registrants are entered into a weekly drawing for a $25 Andersons Gift Certificate! ** Last week’s winner was from Cleveland Hill School District – Register and you could be the next winner!
