October Mindwell Programs

September 26, 2023

“Good mental health is vital to our overall health and well-being.”

World Health Organization

Let’s start off the school year with a healthy balance in life! When we have good mental health, we feel better, work productively, enjoy our down time, and are able to better connect with those around us. “World Mental Health Day” is October 10th. In honor of this, Mindwell is providing the following programs.

  • Using Breath to Improve Health
  • Finding your Mind-Body Connection
  • How to Boost Cognitive Functioning
  • A New Definition of Confidence
