March webinar: Whole Person Self-Care and Resilience

There’s no doubt 2020 was a tough year in many ways. We’re all hoping for a much better year in 2021. But not all was bad. We learned resilience and self-care through difficult times. Resilience is the ability to take care of yourself and adapt well in the face of hardships like:

• personal or family issues
• a serious health concern
• work stress
• money worries
• other difficulties

Taking care of yourself helps you to keep your mind and body ready to deal with conditions that require resilience.

In March, Health Net will be offering a telephone/webinar (using a toll free number) to provide tips on how to take care of yourself and build resilience.

The Whole Person Self-Care and Resilience webinar will be held on Wednesday, March 17, 2021, from noon to 12:45 p.m. Pacific time.
