Please join us for an invigorating discussion on "Practicing Self-Care and Mental Wellness in the Workplace and Beyond" with Active Minds speaker Ivy Watts on Thursday, March 9th, at 3pm in the Gerry Forum, Rowley Center for Science and Engineering, Room 010, Middletown campus. We will  discuss self-care and mental health, especially in the workplace. We encourage staff and faculty to attend, as well as students, who frequently balance one, two, or even three jobs outside of taking classes!

Topics covered:

• Feeling empowered to know that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness
• Learning hands-on tools for self-care and mental wellness in the workplace, including staying motivated, working through challenges, building confidence and identifying strengths for success
• Learning tools for self-care and how to work through anxiety, self-doubt and stress during tough times and beyond
• Learning the power of positivity and self-love
• Learning how to be a source of positivity and hope for others who may be struggling, just by being there
• Learning resources available both online and in the workplace

Ivy is a former All-American student-athlete who appeared to have it all together, graduating Summa Cum Laude and a top 30 finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. On the inside, she struggled daily with anxiety, self-worth, and depression.

After finally seeking help, Ivy now promotes mental wellness and reduces stigma around mental health by sharing her story through public speaking and her blog, Beautifully Simply You. She empowers others to speak their truths, know that they are not alone, learn the beauty of self-love, and find strength to keep fighting for their tomorrows. She has her undergrad degree in psychology from University of New Haven and her Masters in Public Health from Boston University.
