This webinar is an opportunity to learn about the tools I use--from pacing myself to social change work, and from honoring my ancestors to quilting--when coping with mental health challenges and chronic pain. I will talk about DBT skills as well as practices that I have developed myself and learned from others.

This webinar will have simultaneous Spanish and ASL interpretation and live transcription.
