Finding and Maintaining a Glimmer of Light
2025-10-04 10:00 - 12:00 | Lubbock Womens Club, 2020 Broadway, Lubbock, TX, 79401, United States
Topic points include recognition, management, activation, and inspiration for challenges to well-being.

Recognition – The identification of internal and external factors (triggers) that create anxiety, fear, or grief, as well as patterns of how we and others respond to those factors. Identify factors and response patterns related to well-being and stability, even in the face of negative events.
Management – Learn healthy cognitive, emotional, and behavioral strategies and skills rather than leaning into reactivity (e.g., perceptual biases, defeatist or antagonistic approaches, and destructive or disempowered actions). Identify alternative constructive methods and outlets.
Activation – Institute techniques to utilize recognition abilities and management skills, thus integrating knowledge into action. Seek actions to be taken individually or as part of a larger community.
Inspiration – elevate the human capacity to seek compelling, meaningful direction, providing sparks of empowerment. Gravitate to the glimmers of promise.

Dr. Henderson draws from a background in developmental and neuroscience, family and community science, and program/curricula development as an educator providing education enrichment programs (e.g., workshops, trainings), as a public speaker, and in her work with clients, both individuals, families, organizations, or community groups. Janis connects in a meaningful way with children, youth, and adults across the lifespan, utilizing a collaborative, conversational approach. Whether speaking to a large national audience or a small, intimate gathering, Janis brings a unique blend of authenticity and humor while offering an evidence and education-based, trauma-informed approach to resilience strengths empowerment. She uses the art of narrative storytelling and elements of creativity to weave together imagery and knowledge with skill development and practical applications.
