Join us for a grounding activity using a simple cup of water and a three-question framework to build self-awareness and strengthen how we support one another at work. Building brief check-ins with ourselves strengthens the same “muscle” we need to notice when a coworker might be struggling. This 20-minute wellness mini session will highlight practical guidance linking inward awareness with outward care and provide participants with a quick, repeatable tool for building a more attentive and supportive team culture.

Materials needed: A cup of water
Session led by: Kern County Superintendent of Schools
