WAW2017

This lecture will focus on how we as peers view ourselves and use a wellness plan for a mindful lifestyle. As peers, we will demonstrate that we are not superheroes, such as wonder woman, with super powers to save the world or change a person's thoughts at will. We are human beings with gifts and strengths, on our personal recovery journey. This lecture will dissect the truth: about the expectations that we place on ourselves and upon others as we deal with the consequences of not being able to say no. When we do acknowledge personal responsibility and self-care we come to the realization that we are growing in our own perfection.

Learning Objectives:
1. To discuss how living with a Wellness Recovery Action Plan can enhance our families and friend’s well-being as well as our own.  
2. Explore the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial impact on a person’s well-being.  
3. At the end of this lecture, through audience participation, attendees will be able to identify their triggers, early warning signs and actions plan to have working knowledge of self and understand the importance of self-care.
