Relevant stress physiology will be discussed. We will touch upon the evidence base, the neuroscience and invite discussion to enhance learning. Mindful communication and the benefits of mindfulness in relationships will be discussed. At the end of the day, key learning points will be drawn out. There will be signposting to various mindfulness resources and tips on how to practice mindfulness at work and in your life.
