Join Thursday Network for our November General Body Meeting as we bring back The Knowledge Exchange! During this session, we will discuss how to manage our mental and emotional health during this time, as well as common concerns that come up during the holidays that can cause stress and anxiety, and how to deal with those stressors in a productive way.

Discussion topics include:

- Navigating stressful family dynamics

- Dealing with grief around the holidays

- Handling difficult emotions and conversations around politics

- Holiday financial pressure.

This session will allow members to share insights with one another and tap into the wealth of knowledge within our own TN community as well as mental health professionals.

Networking and refreshments start at 6:30 PM, followed by the program at 7:00 PM. Afterward, join us for our “De-stress and Dance” post-GBM at Lima Twist.

We also invite you to bring canned goods or non-perishable food items to support Thursday Network’s Food Pantry.
