#WalkTheTalk Webinar Series | Achieving Wellness Through Playing and Self Care: Home Tools and Tips for Adults and Children to Help Lift Us Up and Bring Us Together During This “New Normal”
On October 7, ask hosted their first Webinar Wednesday of the #WalkTheTalk Webinar Series, taking place as part of their month long virtual event #WalkTheTalk. This session focuses on ‘Achieving Wellness Through Playing and Self Care: Home Tools and Tips for Adults and Children to Help Lift Us Up and Bring Us Together During This “New Normal”.’ As we navigate the trials and tribulations of balancing work and schooling from home, it is easy for things like self-care and playing to take a back seat due to time constraints and the overwhelming business of the day. But forgetting to be playful and engage in self-care could be detrimental to us as individuals, families, co-workers, and as a community. In this webinar, we will explore the intricacies of the Wellness Wheel, previously introduced in our last webinar. Demonstrations of various practical applications related to areas of life on the wheel will provide participants a chance to practice these applications in real time. These demonstrations will illustrate the benefits of managing stress and anxiety. We will also explore the importance and benefits of engaging in play activities. Materials will be presented, and activities that are easy and low cost will be demonstrated. There will also be a discussion on how play fosters development socially, emotionally, and cognitively and how it can help relieve stress and anxiety experienced by so many individuals, families, and the communities.
