Calm Your Mind Workshops

Tuesdays, January 13 – February 3, 2026
3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
Independence First, 540 South 1st Street, Milwaukee

Start the new year with a calmer mind. Join Independence First for our Winter 2026 Calm Your Mind Workshops. It is a four-week mindfulness series designed for people with disabilities who want to learn techniques to reduce stress and stay present.

Each week, you’ll explore new mindfulness activities focused on breathing, grounding, and relaxation. Participants will practice positive coping strategies that can be used in daily life to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. The sessions offer a welcoming, supportive environment to learn, share, and grow together.

These workshops are free to attend, but space is limited.

To RSVP or request disability-related accommodations, contact Hope Lloyd at 414-226-8105 (V/Relay) or HLloyd@independencefirst.org. Please submit accommodation requests at least two weeks before the first session when possible.
