HAYLOS meets from 6:30 - 8 PM on the second Thursday of each month January through December. In addition, meeting on the fourth Thursday, January through May, September, and October.
Your participation in HAYLOS may reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem, and help one feel less lonely, isolated, or judged which may reduce distress, depression, anxiety, or fatigue. Talking openly and honestly in a confidential group setting about your feelings, and improving personal skills to cope with challenges can help your sense of well-being overall.
These tips will help you get the most from your HAYLOS experience, and keep your expectations in check.
- Be consistent and attend three consecutive meetings.
- Take what you need, leave the rest.
- Stay somewhat anonymous.
- Set your expectations.
- Be respectful of other people.
