SUMMARY:WEBINAR:  Understanding Brain Circuitry – Why all the Stigma?
DESCRIPTION:Regular maintenance for our operating systems\, such as our heart\, digestion (fuel) and circulation (cooling) system\, comes in the form of exercise\, good nutrition\, and rest.  When body mechanics\, such as our shoulders\, knees and lower backs are stiff or painful\, we seek out relief\, even repairs to get back to personal productivity. \nSo why is it\, when there is a short in our electrical circuitry that powers all these sources\, we do not dedicate the same attention or effort to the maintenance or quick repairs we do for the rest of our body?  The answer: stigma. \nThis 90-minute live online workshop will challenge that stigma by introducing participants to how our brain circuitry is impacted.  We will explore how our brain function moves along a continuum of “normal”\, a recommended maintenance plan\, and early warning signs an adjustment is needed! \nWhat Will Participants Learn? \n\nDescribe 3 – 4 factors that impact your brain circuitry\nIdentify where you are at any given time on the continuum of being “amped up”\, to sparks in our circuitry\, to a power outage\nExplain how stigma can interfere with brain\, and ultimately\, full body health\nTakeaway tips on maintaining brain health\, how to identify early warning signs in yourself and others\, and where to go for help\n\nPresenter: Rochelle Morandini – Morandini Consulting Group \nRochelle Morandini is an independent consultant whose passion is helping people thrive in the workplace.  Rochelle has an extensive background working with organizations and their people across Canada\, within a large variety of industries.  Her background is in Human Resources and Organizational Behaviour and has dedicated her career to supporting the people and workplace systems that enhance health and mitigate illness. \nDisclaimer: The content of this presentation is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice. \nWorkshop Time:  12:00 pm to  1:30 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) \n Register Now!
