Change and uncertainty are inevitable in life, and sometimes these realities drive fear and anxiety. COVID-19 continues to bring significant concern to us all. But the good news is that we have the opportunity to choose how we will respond — even in times when circumstances are out of our control. The Culture, Equity and Leadership Team (CELT) is here to support with strategies to help us all stay healthy and strong, both physically and emotionally.

The first Self-Care Optimism Strategy reminds us to stay grounded in our Shared Core Values, and is a preview of virtual supports that the Culture, Equity and Leadership Team (CELT) is offering to our team DPS.
