Wellness Corner
Skill-Building Webinar: Mindfulness & Meditation
Join our EAP provider, Uprise Health for a 30-minute skill-building webinar and take a deeper dive into the body scan style of meditation. By turning the awareness inward we naturally let the worries of the day slip away and find ourselves more calm and present.
