Snack &amp; Learn! Edith Block, LICSW joins us to talk Setting Boundaries during the Holiday Season. Of course, there will be cheese!!
Here at <a href="https://lifelovecheese.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Life Love Cheese</a>, we are all about supporting mental health. That's why our tagline is "Eat Cheese. Be Happy." While cheese can bring happiness, we can use a little extra umph to increase our happiness quotient. So, we thought it would be a great idea to host a series of events focused on mental health while snacking on cheese.
In a series we are calling "Brie &amp; Boundaries", we are partnering with Edith Block, a licensed social worker and inclusive marriage and relationship therapist, to talk about creating, maintaining and communicating personal boundaries.
For this holiday edition, Edith will talk about learning to managing boundaries during the crazy holiday season without feeling like you're missing out.
Saying "No" to any of the things or even all the things out there can be hard. During this discussion, Edith will talk about some strategies for staying connected with the world while protecting some boundaries.
We know, it's a scary topic. So, we are providing a mini grazing plate of comfort cheese and a sample of two wines to help you through.
<a href="https://edithblock.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Edith Block, LICSW </a>specializes in relationship building and connecting with others because relationships are extremely important event though they can be challenging at times.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
