There is a lot of pop psychology around what is and is not “self-care”. From a neuroscience and psychology perspective, a lot of what we know about self-care comes from research on mind-body connections. Mindfulness practices can enhance attention and awareness and increase resilience to stress. In this presentation, we will bulk up your wellbeing toolkit by learning different ways to practice mindfulness that are supported by research.

Attendees will:

  • Leave this presentation with an idea on how to practice mindfulness
  • Better develop their ability to cope with stress
