Life is unpredictable. Whether it’s loss, disappointment, trauma, or everyday stress, everyone faces storms at some point. That’s why the Westminster Community Mental Health Hub invites you to an empowering community event: Weathering the Storm: Simple Strategies for Being Peaceful and Prepared, featuring author and chaplain Rev. Dr. Tracy Mehr-Muska on Sunday, June 29, 2025, from 4 to 5:30 ;.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church in West Hartford.

This free, interactive program – open to ages 12 and up – will offer practical tools to help individuals prepare for and grow through adversity.

In her powerful book Weathering the Storm, Mehr-Muska shares her personal experiences of resilience through hardship, along with the Seven P’s of Resilience: People, Positivity, Pliability, Problem Solving, Purpose, Piety, and Perseverance. These qualities, she explains, are not just traits we’re born with. They are skills we can develop to become stronger and more peaceful no matter what life throws our way.

“Just as we practice fire drills before a fire,” she writes, “we must prepare ourselves emotionally and spiritually before the storms of life hit.” This event will offer inspiration, practical strategies, and a safe space for reflection, helping participants face future challenges with greater confidence and calm.

Don’t wait for the next storm. Learn how to face it with strength and peace now.

There is no cost to attend. Light refreshments will be provided.

The conversation with Mehr-Muska launches Westminster’s 2025-2026 Community Mental Health Hub theme, Weathering the Storm, which will feature a series of events focused on mental health education, caregiver support, and strategies to reduce stigma and build resilience in our community.
