This month we will be discussing "Self-Care in the New Year." Our event will be held on January 20, 2026 at 12pm at The Warrior Hotel (625 6th Street) in Sioux City. Our speaker, Amy Bloch, LISW, has served as Executive Director of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Sioux City for the past 12 years. Self-care isn't just about taking walks or making time for yourself. It's also about how we balance all of the responsibilities in our lives, how we set boundaries with others and how we take care of our physical, psychological and emotional selves. This presentation will help participants identify where they might be struggling, how to make easy changes for a happier 2026 and have fun with great colleagues.
