Learn about workplace bullying at Jan. 21 event

"Movements of the Heart," the second session on workplace bullying, will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21, in the Lighthouse room of St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 1500 Brookdale Road in Naperville.

Participants are encouraged to attend all sessions in the series "Facing the Bully Without & Within," but are welcome to attend as many of the meetings as possible.

The series will be led by Dr. Beth Plachetka, a licensed clinical social worker, and Dr. Charlotte Dillon, a clinical psychologist, to facilitate reflection and equip participants with skills and greater awareness about dealing with bullying.

The series will consist of teaching, storytelling, reflection, small and larger group discussions and prayers for healing. Participants also will have an opportunity to take an attachment survey and learn their current attachment adaptations through a variety of experiential exercises.

Each session in the series will last two hours. The concluding session, "Standing Strong Against Bullying," will be April 20.

A freewill offering will be welcomed. For reservations to assure adequate seating, contact Marge Coronado, religious education assistant, at (630) 355-8980, ext. 118, or mcoronado@stapostle.org.

"Facing the Bully Without & Within" is part of St. Thomas' Wellspring ongoing programs co-sponsored by the Pastoral Care and Adult Faith Formation Departments. Wellspring seeks to present interactive, educational experiences whose goal is promoting a wholistic way of life that includes body-mind-spirit integration and well-being.
