This learning module explores the holistic relationship between mental health, self-acceptance, and spirituality for individuals living with sickle cell disease. Led by Dr. Carolyn Rowley of the Cayenne Wellness Center, this session highlights the importance of addressing the mind, body, and spirit when managing chronic illness.
Through heartfelt discussions and personal reflections, the panel emphasizes Alfred Adler’s principles of life tasks, work, social connection, and love while sharing their ongoing journeys toward self-acceptance.
