Coming Together as a Community: How to Support Others in Uncertain Times
This is a 45-min talk, followed by 15-mins for Q&A and discussion.
In times of uncertainty, fear, or emotional overwhelm, many people are silently struggling. These experiences are deeply personal—but they are not isolated. This session offers a space for us to come together as a community and reflect on how we can support others who may also be carrying unseen burdens. Whether you’re comforting a loved one, checking in on a friend, or simply hoping to respond more thoughtfully to the pain around you—this conversation is for you.
Who Should Attend:
- Anyone living in the region who is emotionally affected by ongoing uncertainty.
- Those supporting friends, family, or colleagues during this difficult time.
- People worried about loved ones in affected areas.
- Anyone who believes in building a community of care and empathy.
- Organizations wanting to understand how to support their teams.
