The Importance of Self Care 

Join OCDA and Jason Moore, LPC, Program Manager of the Cleveland Humanities Collaborative at Tri-C, for a presentation on the importance of self-care!

A troubling reality of modernity is that busyness characterizes the average American lifestyle. Go-getters are rewarded while laziness is frowned upon. Yet, what is sometimes lost in one's pursuit of the American Dream is the value of self-care. This presentation highlights what self-care is not, and why it should be incorporated into one's daily life.
