IMPACT Updates
Setting Boundaries OnlineOn February 20th, IMPACT Chicago held a Boundary Setting workshop via Zoom. The workshop was a success! Participants said: "The topic of setting boundaries & understanding limits was addressed very well, both with practical examples (participant interaction) and descriptive situations (different environment anecdotes from the coaches)."
"Both instructors were so kind and informative—loved every minute!"
"Hope Talks" with IMPACT ChicagoIMPACT Chicago had the privilege of participating in "Hope Talks," sponsored by the Southside Center of Hope, a nonprofit recovery home for Chicago women who are experiencing homelessness or recovering from addiction. These monthly live chats allow local organizations to share resources and discuss topics that are important to the communities they serve. You can watch the livestream of February's "Hope Talks" here (IMPACT's Lisa Amoroso appears at minute 38!).
ESD on the Empowerment PodcastIn January, retired IMPACT Chicago instructor Martha Thompson spoke with Silvia Smart, host of The Empowerment Podcast.
