These one-hour sessions, facilitated by our expert Empower Leadership Academy coaches, will help guide you on your way to healthy living. Not only will you be comfortable and safe to freely share barriers to your own mental health and wellness, but you’ll also hear proven tips and strategies to guide you on your journey to self-care.
