CC32 – Calming Behaviors

Virtual Training Session
Tuesday, April 12th

1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

This 16-week, interactive program focuses on boosting optimism and positivity. It’s a series of informative sessions designed to build valuable lifestyle practices and increase your overall well-being. The course highlights happiness, gratitude, mindfulness, and resilience education. 
Positive psychology teaches us the power of shifting one’s perspective which can lead to astounding changes in well-being and quality of life.

Support for identifying a change, as well as living the identified change, comes from attending and participating in small group discussions. The group will meet online Mondays in March from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Submit the registration form to sign up.
