If you’re an activist for progressive values, or even a left-leaning concerned citizen, it’s hard to stay hopeful and engaged at a time like this. Maybe you’re feeling powerless to make a difference, or guilty about not doing enough. Maybe you’re exhausted or depressed, and just feel like shutting down. Maybe you’ve got energy now, but feel afraid of developing “resistance fatigue” as you respond to repeated attacks on our civil liberties.

In this workshop, we’ll use structured discussion and exercises to help you find your own best ways to:

• Take care of your own mental health
• Find a sense of purpose and empowerment
  
• Maintain stamina for the long road ahead
  

There is no single answer to any of these questions, but come prepared to share your thoughts:

• What tasks do I really believe are mine to do?
• Do I have any unexamined attitudes (core beliefs) about myself or the world, that hold me back?
  
• Which of my thoughts and attitudes give me hope, and how can I focus on those?
  
• Where do I get the kind of support I need?
  
• What can I do to stay healthy and grounded?
