Wellness Wednesday Series Fundraiser Part 1.

Healing from Trauma: Finding peace, love, and freedom.

We had transparent conversations on how individuals, families, and communities have experienced trauma and chronic stress. We discussed how trauma and stress show up in our bodies and contribute to many of the common health challenges we experience. We reflected on one of the body’s main stress hormones, cortisol, and how it impacts the functioning of our mind and body. We also learned and practiced simple techniques to increase naturally occurring hormones, like endorphins, that can help to regulate our stress levels.
