SUMMARY:Everything Relationships!
DESCRIPTION:A monthly (4th Tuesday of the month) online drop-in to ask and discuss any questions that you have about building and keeping relationships. \nThese monthly sessions will be hosted alternately by Certified Sexual Health Educators Darren Frisk and Sherry Nassrin\, and are for individuals who want to build relationships\, both professionally & personally. \nDeveloping the relationships we want takes time & effort\, but we do get better at it. We can learn to be our most mature selves\, and to become more socially & emotionally aware.  We may need to expand our opportunities for meeting people\, to participate in activities that are new to us\, to nurture curiosity about others\, and to demonstrate flexibility around shared activities. This only makes sense if doing so aligns with our goals\, while preserving our mental & physical well-being. \nBeginning is the first step! Be kind to yourself\, and know that by reaching out in these sessions & elsewhere\, others will see your effort and will reach out back to you! \n \nNew!  You will earn a Frequent Friendly Face point for each event attended. Top point scorers will receive a gift card at the end of June 2024. \nPlease register for the event to get the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Male Loneliness
DESCRIPTION:Male Loneliness: Is it significant\, and what is it’s Impact?\nRegistered Psychologist\, Dr. David Worling will present his research and thoughts on this topic. \nCenter for Disease Control\, and the World Health organization are increasingly identifying Loneliness as a health hazard\, as dangerous as smoking or alcoholism\, according to some research. In contrast\, having a strong social circle is associated with a longer life and fewer illnesses. “People with strong social networks are less stressed\, more resilient and more optimistic.” They also are more likely to have a healthy weight\, and enjoy some protection from cancer\, heart disease and depression. (BBC Science Focus #383)” Apparently\, men are missing out on these benefits! An American YouGov poll in 2019 concluded that 1 in 5 men have no close friends\, twice as many as woman. While loneliness is not a consequence of gender\, there are reasons why men are significantly more impacted. Dr. Worling will talk about these statistics\, the social/cultural factors that increase loneliness for men\, and how to reduce it. \nIn 2003\, Dr. Worling founded Westcoast Child development Group\, and later\, Spectrum Works Consulting\, specifically to support autistic adults with co-occurring mental health condition. \n \n  \nPlease register for the event to get the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Everything Relationships!
DESCRIPTION:A monthly online drop-in to ask and discuss any questions that you have about building and keeping relationships. \nThese monthly sessions will be hosted alternately by Certified Sexual Health Educators Darren Frisk and Sherry Nassrin\, and are for individuals who want to build relationships\, both professionally & personally. \nDeveloping the relationships we want takes time & effort\, but we do get better at it. We can learn to be our most mature selves\, and to become more socially & emotionally aware.  We may need to expand our opportunities for meeting people\, to participate in activities that are new to us\, to nurture curiosity about others\, and to demonstrate flexibility around shared activities. This only makes sense if doing so aligns with our goals\, while preserving our mental & physical well-being. \nBeginning is the first step! Be kind to yourself\, and know that by reaching out in these sessions & elsewhere\, others will see your effort and will reach out back to you! \n \nNew!  You will earn a Frequent Friendly Face point for each event attended. Top point scorers will receive a gift card at the end of June 2024. \nPlease register for the event to get the Zoom link.
