EAP Events and Webinars

This June, we celebrate the power of identity, inclusion, and care in all its forms. In recognition of Pride Month, Juneteenth, and the Global Day of Parents, June’s Wellness Wednesday series explores how our roles, histories, and relationships shape mental and emotional well-being. From acknowledging invisible labor to celebrating chosen family and cultural resilience, each session offers space to reflect, connect, and care for yourself and your community.

Join us every Wednesday in June at noon! Register: HERE

June 4: The Many Faces of Care: Recognizing and Valuing Invisible Labor

Care takes many forms—parenting, emotional support, mentoring, advocacy—and often goes unseen. In this session, we’ll explore how caregiving shows up in both personal and professional roles, how it impacts our well-being, and how we can set boundaries and ask for support without guilt.

June 11: Pride and Presence: Cultivating Confidence in Your Identity

Being seen and heard for who you truly are can be empowering and vulnerable. This session highlights the importance of self-acceptance, visibility, and belonging, whether in the workplace, home, or community. Learn strategies to show up authentically, set boundaries, and foster inclusion for yourself and others.

June 18: Chosen Family, Real Support: Building Community That Nourishes You

Family isn’t always about blood. It’s about trust, care, and showing up. This session explores the emotional power of chosen family and how community care strengthens resilience. Identify your support system and foster reciprocal, emotionally safe relationships.

June 25: Healing, History, and Hope: Honoring Juneteenth Through Reflection and Wellness

Juneteenth is both a historical milestone and a modern call to action. In this session, we reflect on the emotional impact of cultural memory, explore how personal and collective healing intersect, and share ways to honor Juneteenth thoughtfully—with rest, reflection, and resilience.

The Art of Assertiveness and Confidence

Being confident and assertive isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room—it’s about expressing yourself clearly and respectfully while maintaining positive relationships. This session helps participants develop assertive communication skills, build self-confidence, and navigate difficult conversations with poise. Learn how to balance assertiveness with empathy, practice “I” statements and active listening techniques, and apply real-world strategies for setting boundaries and advocating for yourself.
