Webinar: “What EQ Can Do for You: Strategies for Enhancing Emotional Intelligence” (43:26)

Flyer: August Edition (PDF)
When you were a teenager, you might have kept a diary hidden under your mattress. It was a place to confess your struggles and fears without judgment or punishment. It likely felt good to get all of those thoughts and feelings
out of your head and down on paper. The world seemed clearer.
You may have stopped using a diary once you reached adulthood. But the concept and its benefits still apply as a grown up. Now it’s called journaling. It’s simply writing down your thoughts and feelings to understand them more
clearly. And if you struggle with stress, depression, or anxiety, keeping a journal can be a great idea. It can help you gain control of your emotions and improve your mental health.

Psoriasis Action Month
Over 8 million people in the United States and 125 million worldwide live with psoriasis. This month is a great time to come together to honor, recognize, and educate each other on Psoriasis and its impact on our lives.
When it comes to psoriasis, you might first think of the pain, itching, and flaky skin. As frustrating as those symptoms are, solving them means addressing much more than the body’s surface.
Create Your Own Care Path
The National Psoriasis Foundation Care Path provides you with the tools you need to find a provider, ease symptoms, and optimize your health. If things change, you can revisit the Care Path and get things back on the right track.
Find Care
It is best to work with a dermatologist for psoriasis and a rheumatologist for psoriatic arthritis to get the correct diagnosis and to find the best treatment plan for you. However, the first person you may want to see is your primary care provider (PCP).
Find a health care provider with experience in treating psoriasis with the National Psoriasis Foundation’s Health Care Provider Directory.
Prepare
Get the most out of your visit, plan to discuss changes to your disease, understand your diagnosis and treatment options, talk over questions or concerns, and make a treatment decision. Here’s what to bring to your appointment:
