Join the Working Women’s Network and Yale Veterans Network for our monthly parenting check-in the second Wednesday of every month from 1:30-2:30 pm via Zoom. The check-ins serve as an opportunity for Yale community parents to check-in, share tips and tricks and concerns about our new normal of being parent(s), continued work responsibilities, and now the additional responsibility of homeschooling and managing the nuances of having babies and toddlers at home instead of daycare. The conversations are a safe space for us to positively communicate and learn and grow from each other.
Join the Asian Network at Yale and Working Women’s Network for a comprehensive and interactive zoom self-defense seminar! Topics will include: ways to walk through a violent encounter, personal protection options like mace spray and how to use them properly, and car safety tips.
Please note that during a robbery, for the safety of the persons involved, it is suggested to be compliant, and once safely to do so, contact the police immediately with as many details as possible.
Each one of us brings our own experiences and wisdom to caregiving. Today, we can pool our knowledge, recognize the similarities and differences in our experiences and share strategies that can be useful in coping with caregiving of our loved ones. This discussion group will be led by Laura Kaplan, LCSW.
Join the Yale African American Affinity Group and Working Women’s Network for a Family Read-A-Loud with Author Carla Victoria Wallace. The first 10 people to register will receive a free children’s book.
Do you wonder about the effectiveness of different macronutrient diets on the body and particularly for weight loss? Despite the many options we have, we still don’t have clear guidance about them (low carb vs low fat vs Mediterranean) and not one diet has been found to be better than others for weight loss.
Please join us for an engaging conversation with Dr. Janice Hwang, Endocrinologist and Assistant Professor in the Division of Endocrinology at the Yale School of Medicine, to learn about the impact of macronutrients on the brain as well as her research.
Join the Working Women’s Network and the Peabody for a dinosaur event. The Division of Vertebrate Paleontology houses one of the most important vertebrate fossil collections in North America including many of the first dinosaurs ever discovered and named. This behind-the-scenes tour is your chance to see where fossilized bones from well-known dinosaurs like Brontosaurus, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Stegosaurs are stored. Your guide will be Armand Morgan, Senior Museum Instructor in the Education Office.
