We will be offering wellness sessions from the Claremont Employee Assistance Program every month. Sessions are open to any interested staff and cover topics such as how to prioritize, adapting to change, and mindfulness. They will be held at the Building 102 Conference Room at Fort Mason. To sign up, contact Holly Chrobak at hchrobak@parksconservancy.org.
