We are partnering with Hayward Area Memorial Hospital and Essential Health- Hayward in bringing a community education event.

A Path to Mental Wellness: Mindfulness & Managing Traumatic Experiences

In our community, virtually everyone has experienced trauma or knows someone who has experienced trauma. Reading about a shooting in our community online, hearing about an accident on the news, listening to a neighbor or a friend telling about something terrible they witnessed…these experiences can also create trauma responses. What is trauma? How does trauma shape our thoughts, our emotions and our behaviors? How can the effects of trauma be managed to move toward health and wellness for us individually, as families and as community members? Thomas Jensen, Manager for Integrated Behavioral Health at Essential Health will discuss DBT skills.  NorthLakes' providers Holly Gomez-Levine and Tamilyn White will guide you through a discussion about how we can put things back together after traumatic experiences.

Every Wednesday evening a community meal is served in the fellowship hall at First Lutheran Church. The meal is free of charge but if you wish, you may make a free-will donation.

The meals are nutritious and are prepared and served by volunteers from the church congregation as well as volunteers within the community. NorthLakes Community Clinic staff will be cooking and serving this Wednesday.
