Webinar 1 - The Art of Managing Anxiety and Worry:  Behavioral Strategies<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAxOTExMjYuMTM0Njc3OTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NjLnJlYWR5dGFsay5jb20vcmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uLyMvP21lZXRpbmc9Z2RjaGVvMno1djBuJmNhbXBhaWduPTltZGVhZGNlZjhhMyJ9.aiEQV0jO8ZTK4lPgnuUABT9_8TXKMwznStp0pWgrAMw/br/71928235451-l>

Many of us experience some fear and anxiety as normal, and even critical, in times of danger. The 'what-ifs' of worrisome thoughts also have the potential to reduce the quality of our life. If unchecked, they can become overwhelming. This is especially true in life after spinal cord injury. Is it time to consider the role of anxiety and worry in your life? This session starts with some basic education about how fear is processed in our brains. The presenter will then discuss several brain-based strategies to help observe, assess, and manage anxious thoughts. They will also present some potential problem-solving skills that can support healthy emotions and behaviors. The overall aim is to better understand and reduce discomfort related to anxiety and worry.

Webinar 2 - Mental Health and Self-Care for Caregivers: Beyond Finding the Time<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAxOTExMjYuMTM0Njc3OTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2NjLnJlYWR5dGFsay5jb20vcmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uLyMvP21lZXRpbmc9bTB0ZXF3OGs4bzY5JmNhbXBhaWduPWEyMW9paHk2ZWg3In0.tR81QDsIvr7SXSGTkXg7kNWDjjpiN1Rgyhm7ylsbsXs/br/71928235451-l>

Self-care is so important to physical and mental health. Yet, so many factors inadvertently sabotage self-care plans and attempts. Have you ever considered there may be something deeper at the root? This session will consider aspects of good mental health and explore ways that behavioral patterns we learned growing up influence our self-care success. The presenter will discuss techniques to shift these patterns and encourage the flow of healthier habits.

Webinar 3 - Using mindfulness to support life after paralysis: Strategies to increase mindfulness  <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAxOTExMjYuMTM0Njc3OTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5jaHJpc3RvcGhlcnJlZXZlLm9yZy9ldmVudHMifQ.poCoanz0SE6xE3hnrCkt9vAS3bqLVwzRSiYgn85kXIU/br/71928235451-l>

Studies indicate that mindfulness can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, and other health conditions. Mindfulness helps us respond rather than react, avoid and/or judge. It takes us out of being a victim of our thoughts. Does this sound like a skill you would like to develop? Join this session to deepen your understanding of mindfulness and explore ways to navigate the many changes in our daily lives.
