Self Care Class!

15


15 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Jul 27, 2017

Let's talk about self care! It's important to care for other people, but you can't pour from an empty cup. You need to take time to take care of yourself too. Self care is about helping your mind relax and feel better. It's something that we should all prioritize and take seriously. To often we focus on the needs of others and can find ourselves feeling overwhelmed or stressed. I can talk to you and help you create a self care box or plan full of easy and convenient ways for you to take care of your mental health.

About Allissa Torres

I am passionate about mental health advocacy and am currently looking for more opportunities in the field. I am extremely interested in how we can work together to create a world in which mental healt...h is not viewed as "less than". Stigma only silences and I believe in the power of conversation, honesty, and kindness. I am interested in all forms of mental health and specifically in eating disorders, suicide, self harm, and crisis counseling. I have a unique approach of utilizing honesty, strength identification, humor, and empathy to help others recognize their abilities. My goal is to help individuals thrive as both the hero of their own stories and the vital characters in the stories of others. I am currently working as a nanny to allow myself a continuous schedule of various volunteer roles and finishing my B.A. in Psychology through Arizona State University. I am open to inquiries about internships, volunteer, or paid work opportunities. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or are looking to expand your network! I am always eager and willing to connect! show more
