“CARING FOR OURSELVES AND OTHERS DURING COVID-19 “

By John Lonergan & Caroline Crotty

Wednesday 14^th April 2021 -8pm

______________________________________________________________

Tipperary natives John Lonergan (Tipp Excel Director) and Caroline Crotty (Counsellor and Psychotherapist) will discuss the importance of caring for ourselves to help us care for others. This is especially true as we all live along-side COVID-19.

According to John Lonergan, when we care for ourselves we are better able to deal with what life throws at us. Building self-care is building resilience to life’s major events. The talk will cover issues like;

· Dealing with our strong emotions,

· How to avoid and reduce stress and anxiety,

· Why sleep is so important

Both John Lonergan and Caroline Crotty will give us a few tips to help us sleep better, how to structure our daily routine, communication and why we should talk about our feelings to avoid family arguments, and how to mind our minds.

To register your interest in attending this virtual talk or to submit a question in advance call Tipperary Excel on 062 80520 to give your name and email address.
