SUMMARY:Finding Peace When Life Doesn't Go as Planned - Practicing Radical Acceptance
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Jenn Staples\, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of the mental health nonprofit GUTS\, for a one-hour presentation exploring the skill of Radical Acceptance.

Everyone is welcome to join\, whether you attended the original series or are learning these skills for the first time.
