Emotional Health

Often, especially with seniors, we push our emotions to the side, which can lead to depression, anger, poor self-esteem, and the feeling of not being valued, as well as many other negative feelings. The Stronger U: Emotional Resilience Program gives participants tools to use, and an outlet to learn about and reinforce positive beliefs, self-confidence, and purposeful living while also encouraging healthy ways to manage and express our emotions. The elements of forming safe relationships and practicing gratitude are invaluable to those involved in this study. We have been blessed to have this program in our community!

Excellent study and exchange of ideas about how important self care is to one’s growth and well-being. Appreciated Kemir and Dee Ann leading the discussion and expressing their exuberance for the release of daily stressors and assisting in finding a place of peace in our day to day walk with God.

Living Free to Be Me is a great opportunity to heal from emotional wounds. Through structured journaling and reflection, it guides us by processing through negative experiences in a healthy way. There is intentional emotional balance in the program that helps us from feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions. Having components of purposeful positivity was something that I looked forward to, and it allowed me to continue with the program and not quit by feeling so overwhelmed. It also provides a structured framework so that I can address other issues that come up and need to be dealt with. I feel lighter, less angry, and happier, and I've had multiple friends comment on how I seem different. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to heal and move forward!

The class was enjoyable. It was taught out of the box. The games were very enlightening. It made you think of how you see yourself. It helps you to build your confidence and think highly of yourself. Great job!!!

Kemir with JINTEL did a 4-week program with the ladies at our Assisted Living Facility. This was an interactive program where Kemir brought the people together to work on building community and encouraging emotional health. At the end of each session I felt like the members had a few core activities to implement into their daily life. Kemir is great at relationship building and the group felt bonded to her and one another by the end of our 4 weeks. We will have her come again in the future.
