CCA January Lunch & Learn | How to Support an Aging Brain (Online)

Join Dr. Ann Friedman, Psychologist and Certified Mindfulness Compassion Facilitator, in this mid-day session to learn about scientific studies on older adults using mindfulness. Studies have shown mindfulness can slow cognitive decline, improve memory retention, reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, and improve coping skills when living with chronic illness – and even be used as an aid in pain management. Learn short practices that you might incorporate in your daily living to make each day better.
