Self-care is well-care. Here is your opportunity to slow down, experience practical ways to calm the mind and relax the body, and strengthen your emotional regulation and overall wellness. You will experience breathwork, meditation, low impact movement, then discuss more mindfulness strategies and tactics over a delicious light lunch (provided). 90 minutes of grounding practices followed by more ways to incorporate mindfulness and movement to find balance, thrive as a caregiver, and share what you learn with others.

Plan to leave work behind for the time and bring your mind and body ready to learn about your emotional regulation and how to add quick and simple mindfulness practices into your daily life.

This presentation will provide an overview of the unproven stem cell therapy industry and explain the impact the industry has on patients, family and society. The presenter will argue that while regulatory approaches to quell the unproven market have been implemented, little has been done to improve communication to address patient misunderstandings about the safety and efficacy of unproven stem cell therapies. The presenter will provide practical steps to improve patient understanding surrounding unproven products through empathic communication that can be provided by any clinician.
