Walter Paquin, professor of social work at Bluffton University, will present Bluffton’s annual Civic Engagement Forum titled, “Balancing Life’s Challenges: How Small Actions Improve Emotional Well-Being.” The presentation will take place at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, April 9, in Yoder Recital Hall.

During the presentation, the social work professor will explain how choices like sleeping more, going outside and eating better food can reduce depression and anxiety, as well as help us address overwhelming challenges like climate change.
