Give your brain a workout and get to know others at PNW!

 Research shows that intellectual challenge and social connectedness are two factors that can contribute to brain health throughout the life span. Developed by the University of Illinois Extension, each session of Wits Workout embraces a unique theme to facilitate discussion on an important topic related to brain health – exercise, diet, sleep, short- and long-term memory, and many more!

Although we can’t eliminate all of the pressures we face in our day-to-day lives, we can be better prepared for them. This presentation examines the cycle of stress, reviews cognitive restructuring techniques, and discusses ways to build resilience and manage stress. By providing real scenarios that allow participants to “test drive” their stress management techniques, personal strategies are identified that increase resiliency and stress management techniques.
