You are Not Alone:

Understanding & Easing Loneliness

Tuesday, September 29; 7 - 9 p.m. in Hickey Hall

Loneliness is something we all experience at times in our lives. In this workshop, we will explore loneliness and examine the health risks and behavioral challenges that come with the feeling of loneliness. We will discuss some of the causes that contribute to the feeling that we are alone. We also will explore ways to deal with boredom and loneliness in productive healthy ways and offer suggestions for easing loneliness in our lives. Sponsored by Health Ministry and Stephen Ministry.

Artificial Intelligence is here. Some people rave about it, others are scared by it. We’ll look at 3 questions:
