Mindfulness Techniques to Enhance Well-being
Learn and practice various mindfulness skills, which can help you become more aware of what is going on in the present moment and observe your thoughts and feelings in a nonjudgmental manner. Mindfulness-based techniques have been shown to improve memory, attention, and concentration while promoting overall health and well-being in persons with and without disabilities. This session will provide attendees with an overview of mindfulness-based techniques and how to practice mindfulness yourself and share with others such as your siblings and family members.
