Being an adult can be overwhelming—but taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be. Adulting 101: Self-Care Tips is designed to help new and young adults explore the importance of both mental and physical well-being. We’ll discuss practical, manageable self-care habits, why they matter, and how small changes can lead to a healthier, more balanced life.

Whether you’re living on your own for the first time or just need a reset, this program offers supportive guidance and helpful resources. A self-care themed book display will be available to inspire further reading and reflection.
