Winter Wellness: Managing Stress and Mood

Join us to learn about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and discover practical ways to manage stress, boost mood, and stay emotionally healthy during the darker months.

Join Dr. Risa Long, a licensed clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, for an informative discussion about stress, emotional wellness, and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). This program will explore how seasonal changes can affect mood, energy, sleep, and overall well-being, particularly during the fall and winter months.

Drawing on her expertise in behavioral health, stress management, resilience, and evidence-based mental health treatments, Dr. Long will discuss practical strategies for managing stress, recognizing the signs of SAD, and maintaining emotional wellness throughout the year. Attendees will learn simple, actionable tools to support mental health, improve coping skills, and enhance overall quality of life.

Whether you are experiencing seasonal mood changes yourself or simply interested in learning ways to support your well-being, this welcoming presentation offers valuable information, practical tips, and an opportunity for discussion and questions.
