Anxiety Relief during Political Polarization
Have you been distressed in an era of polarization? Politics, social and environmental issues have all seemed to be hampered by partisanship and increasing divides. Sometimes it feels like we’re on different teams, or it’s “Us versus Them.” In this group, we’ll explore the dynamics of polarization, learn how to manage anxiety, and become more effective in our relationships and community.
