❤️ That’s a wrap on our 5th Address the Stress Conference! ❤️
What a meaningful day spent connecting, learning, and making space for our own well-being!
We were grateful to welcome keynote speaker Leah Marone, author of Serial Fixer, who reminded us of the importance of Support, Don’t Solve™. Sometimes, the best thing we can do for others is listen, offer support, and trust them to find their own way forward.
Our panel of local leaders was another powerful part of the day. Hearing their personal why and how they navigate the challenges of their work reminded us that even those who spend their days caring for others need support, connection, and space to recharge.
And the afternoon? A chance to step away from our daily routines and do something just for ourselves! From getting outside and moving our bodies to trying something creative, relaxing, or new, there was something for everyone.
A huge thank you to Leah, our panelists, breakout leaders, and everyone who joined us to make this day so special! We’re especially grateful to Syla Foundation and Wilkes Health for sponsoring this year’s conference and helping make it possible.
The Wilkes Resiliency Collaborative is proud to bring our community together to promote healing and well-being. Days like this remind us why that work matters!
