10:15 - 11:00 am - The Effectiveness of Journaling with Luciana Adams

Establishing a journaling habit can help you develop personal skills and enhance your health by fostering forgiveness, honesty, goal-setting, self-care, self-affirmations, recognizing your accomplishments, creating a gratitude list, and creating good habits to replace the bad ones.  

11:15 - 12:00 pm - Train Your Brain: Neurofeedback and its Benefits with Mary Beth Stevens, M.Ed., LPCC, BCN

Neurofeedback uses EEG (electroencephalogram) technology to train the brain to produce healthier brainwave patterns. With applications to many mental health conditions like anxiety, ADHD, depression or trauma--or for those who want to achieve peak mental performance--neurofeedback is an exciting approach with over 70 years of research that supports its benefits.
