Social workers and psychologists are invited to register for a UFT Member Assistance Program workshop on the connection between mind and body. Have you heard of the gut-brain connection? Researchers have found that a lesser-known nervous system in our guts (our “second brain”) communicates with the brain and plays a key role in our overall mental health. This lecture will discuss the mind-body connection and the relationship between our digestive health and mood. We’ll pay particular attention to how one might use this information in a school-based setting.

The cost to attend this workshop is $15. Participants will earn one CE credit by completing this session.
