Finding ways to cope, heal and move forward after 12 months of this … stuff.

The events of last year have taken a toll on all of us. And clearly, 2021 hasn’t kicked off all sunshine and daisies either. So over the last two months, Consumers and OnSite Wellness presented a three-part webinar series that brought together experts on mental health, community engagement and employer services to discuss the ways we as individuals, employers and communities can recover and move forward.
