Standing (Em)Power: Taking Up Space
Self-Esteem is a very vital element in our mental health and well-being. Led by CARE Advocate Priscilla Gomez, this workshop will help inform survivors of how trauma can lead to low self-esteem but will also help survivors rediscover their voice, their strength, and who they are on the inside. The workshop would contain different approaches to building up self-esteem consist of: identifying strengths, stress relieving exercises, using “I” statements, practicing vocal power, talking to others, saying “no”, speaking confidently/assertively, positive affirmations, and setting SMART Goals.
