As we transition from Fall to Winter, join us for our November wellness series, Sweat & Sip! Each Wednesday, November 4, 11, and 18 at 5pm, the Asian Network at Yale, LGBTQ Affinity Group, and Working Women’s Network are hosting a movement and meditation series. This series will feature 30 minutes of mindful movement, 10 minutes of guided meditation, and 20 minutes to sip on your beverage of choice while connecting with members of the Yale community.

Our third event in the “Beyond the Ballot: Representation and Participation” series, join us for an up-close and personal conversation with Ruby Ibarra about how she has intentionally used her music as a critical consciousness raising tool and her platform to mobilize communities for social change. The event will also include a live virtual concert performance by Ruby.

The world around us is changing quickly and at times may seem overwhelming, which, if we are not careful, can lead to feelings of burnout and exhaustion. But there are simple tools and basic practices we can employ to help us navigate these changes and perhaps even grow from them. Join Danielle Casioppo, MS, Education Specialist and certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor with Being Well at Yale, for an exploration of simple daily practices to boost resilience and reduce stress, even in the midst of challenging times.

Join Bright Horizons for a discussion of the current offerings from Yale, which includes subsidized back-up care for Yale faculty, staff, post-docs, and students, and Crisis Care Assist (using a caregiver from your own network).
