Community Conversations: Self-Care
7 p.m., Anna Todd Wofford Center, Andrews Field House
Often we place some people and things before our own needs. We continuously put the needs of our family, friends, academics, children and society before meeting our individual, personal needs. Each of us has different necessities for self-care, and it is essential that we are aware and take time to care for those needs. As students, faculty and staff, we take self-care for granted many times, which affects our mental and physical health as well as our relationships. This conversation explores why we compromise self-care in aspects of our lives. Sponsored by the Office of Residence Life. (Open to Wofford community only.)
