SUMMARY:Mindfulness - Mental Health Week
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness is the art and practice of of being fully aware of what’s happening in the moment – emotionally\, cognitively\, in any way!  It involves nourishing the capacity to be conscious of what you’re doing and of what is happening around you\, as well as inside you\, with open curiosity\, kindness and an attitude of non-judgement.  Mindfulness can be particularly helpful during stressful times because it can help us step back from our stormy minds\, procide a calmer perspective\, and reveal healthier choices available to use.  It can also help when we need to focus on a difficult or complicated task by reducing the ‘chatter’ of our internal monologue.  While it may come naturally to some\, mindfulness takes practice to master. \nJoin professional psychologist Dr. Meagan Daley in-person at the Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale for a 1.5-hour session in Mindfulness. \nRegister here. \nQuestions? \nFor more information about this Mindfulness workshop\, please contact Verity\, WE Mind Mental Health Program Coordinator\, by email or phone at 418-684-5333\, ext. 11932.

SUMMARY:Lifelong Learning - Nutritional Advice- Is there a solution to the confusion?
DESCRIPTION:This event is a community partnership event with the Community Wellness Centre at Jeffery Hale and Lifelong Learning. It is open to all adults in the Quebec City area. \nFacilitator: Joe Schwarcz PhD \nEating has become a confusing experience.  Virtually every day brings news about some “miracle food” that we should be gulping down.  One day it’s tomatoes to prevent cancer\, then flaxseed against heart disease or soybeans for menopause.  Then there are the worries: genetic modification\, aspartame\, MSG\, the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements.  We need proper science to guide us through this nutritional maze. \nThis will be a hybrid session. To register please contact Anaïs Fortin-Maltais at afortinmaltais@jhpartners.net or call her at 581-446-7476.
