Finding the Glimmers
It's easy to focus on the challenges and difficulties in life, especially when we're feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

These micro-moments of positivity can offer powerful tools for emotional regulation, helping us thrive rather than just survive. Join The Ohio State University Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for a 30-minute webinar where you'll learn practical strategies to spot and embrace more of the glimmers in your life. Discover how these moments can make a big difference in your well-being and create more opportunities for emotional resilience.
