Description

Interested in finding simple yet impactful ways to weave wellness into your professional and personal life?  If so, please join faculty and staff colleagues for Wellness Wednesdays the first Wednesday of each month (September to June) from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in the RAC Lobby.  Each session offers information, resources, and/or immersion into different wellness modalities that are supported at UMBC. 

More than 34 million Americans provide unpaid care to older adults every year. The experience of providing this care is both challenging and variable.

There is good news: We have a better understanding than we’ve ever had of the human aging process. In this session, Drs. Ronch and Rabins will describe the myths and realities surrounding aging, and share data on how the concept of positive aging -- combined with medical advances and technology -- have created a very bright future for older adults and their caregivers.

Space is limited and registration is required.  Registration deadline is Friday, October 28th. Register at http://my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/41720. 

This is a qualifying event for WIN Rewards - Emotional!
