Forest Lake kicks off CREATING BETTER DAYS Webinar Series

Forest Lake President Alfred Xerez-Burgos, Jr. in his opening message said, “Given these challenging times that are causing feelings of overwhelm, fear and uncertainty, we wish to help you rediscover clarity, calm, and confidence. Recognizing the pandemic has changed the way we grieve and come to terms with loss, we are offering this webinar as a channel to provide you with newfound knowledge and tools that you can use, so you may thrive in this brand new world by learning how to adapt and create a better now.”

The webinar audience had a chance to win functional health products from Synnovate Pharma Corporation, the natural products company of Unilab. Apart from bottles of Sekaya Botanic Infusions, Integraid products were also raffled off. Audience members were also given the opportunity to schedule a free one-on-one session with each speaker—the first 10 to sign up on the online registration system are now looking forward to their private online session with Grief Coach Cathy Babao and Mental Health First Aider Zarah Hernaez.
Forest Lake’s Managing Director for Operations, Sales and Marketing, Alby Xerez-Burgos closed the webinar by saying, “We hope that you were able to take away valuable life lessons that will help you navigate confidently through life’s twists and turns.
