Mental Wellness Workshops
To holistically prosper, we believe mental well-being plays a key role. We partnered with Healthy Synergy, LLC. to provide classes that will equip you with the tools to be mindful and protect your emotional peace.
This series is led by a licensed professional counselor. There will be interactive opportunities throughout the classes. We prioritize creating a safe space in which you feel confident to engage and share. This is an opportunity to learn more about yourself among a like-minded community.
Offered Virtually on Wednesdays from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. via a HIPAA-compliant platform.
Registration
We recognize that mental wellness resources are often inaccessible due to cost and cultural stigmas. We’re here to make these resources affordable and accessible, which we hope will encourage you to prioritize your mental health and well-being.
That is why we are offering this series at NO COST, with the option to donate.
RSVP for the whole series, or just for the classes with topics valuable to you, by navigating through the Class Schedule. For individuals who are 18+.

Annia Salas, MS, LPC, CCTP (she/her) has a Master of Science and is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. Annia uses the following analogy when talking about counseling/therapy: “We need a brace or splint to help us with a broken bone. Similarly, therapy can be a support to help us and guide our healing/journey. I work with people on their journey toward greater mental fitness and healing.”
