In the realm of prevention, our endeavors can sometimes feel isolated and individualized. This interactive session aims to foster a shift towards wellness by recognizing both individual and collective strengths within our teams. By incorporating wellness practices within our workforce, we embark on a journey of healing and transformation. Together, we will explore strategies for nurturing our professional selves as individuals and as cohesive teams. We will cultivate ideas around support, resilience, and mutual growth, ultimately advancing our shared mission of promoting primary prevention, well-being, and positive change within our communities.
