Stacey R. Dorenfeld’s column “How Volunteering Can Be Your Chill Pill” for Thrive Global reflects on how giving back can be one of the most unexpected and rewarding forms of self care. Stacey is currently Hadassah National Advocacy Co-Chair, responsible for training members in 25 states, serves as California Advocacy Chair, and is on the board of Hadassah Southern California.
In her column, Stacey relates how Hadassah lent [I would say gave her courage, not "lent"] her courage and how she found her voice in advocacy work for Hadassah. This column is part of Hadassah’s ongoing series of articles in Thrive Global, the media platform founded by Arianna Huffington.
