Mental Wellness: Self-Care and Loving Your Neighbor

Combating sadness, loneliness and hopelessness. 

Join us at Christ Church Episcopal and Christ Church Episcopal School along with guest speakers Dennis Gillan (TedxSpeaker and Author of the children's book "Nice shoes! A little compliment can go a long way) and Caroline Coy (Greenville County Elementary School Counselor) as children, youth and adults learn how to:

• Speak about your feelings
• Affirm and acknowledge these feelings in yourself and others
• Reach out and respond with compassion and kindness to others
• Find help and resources

The lunch event is designed for 1st graders - adults with nursery available after lunch.  We start right after church at 11:30 AM. There will be a childrens presentation for 1st-5th graders by Caroline Coy during the keynote presentation by Dennis Gillan. Adults may either attend the adult session or the children's session with their child. 

We will host a separate event that evening for the fifth graders, middle schoolers and high schoolers at Christ Church Episcopal School from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. If youth are unable to attend the evening event, they are welcome to come to the adult presentation at lunch time.

Each family who signs up early for this event will receive a copy of Dennis Gillan's book for children, if they request one. These books have been graciously provided by Canterbury Counseling.
