Hope to see you all on Thursday, July 25th for our next BAC Meeting. We will be joined by Wellness Coach, Janice Horner, MPH, CHES, NBC-HWC who will speak with our group about Mindfulness in the workplace and in life.

In this training, participants will learn how mindfulness can be beneficial in their lives, and will be familiarized with two simple mindfulness practices. Additionally, attendees will take away an awareness of the benefits of formal and informal mindful practices that can help them focus and succeed in their personal and professional daily lives.

As always, the speaker will begin around 9:00 am--so be sure to arrive early for coffee/snacks and networking. This meeting will take place in room 5032 in the Swinburne Human Services Center from 8:30 am-10:30 am.
