Peer Support 101 with Amy Foley and Emily Fumarola, MSW, LISW-S
Anger is a complex issue, often rooted in societal expectations, unresolved emotions, and learned behaviors. While anger is a natural human emotion,
men may experience it more intensely or express it in ways that are harmful due to societal pressures to suppress vulnerability and appear stoic. Join us for a discussion of the underlying causes and ideas for developing healthy coping mechanisms to manage anger constructively and improve overall well-being and relationships. This session gives insights both men and women can learn from.

Mobility or Flexibility: What is the Difference?
The words mobility and flexibility are used interchangeably by individuals. They have different meanings when looking at what they provide the body.
- Flexibility is the ability of the soft tissue (muscles/tendons/ligaments) to stretch passively.
- Mobility is the joint’s ability to move through a full range of motion. Mobility usually involves moving a joint through a range.
They are both important concepts in healthy movement, as well as enhance stability and strength. Flexibility and mobility play a key role in maintaining a positive quality of life.
