Registration is open for Taking Care of You program

Community members may enroll in Taking Care of You, a University of Missouri Extension program offering practical strategies for dealing with stress and life challenges.

Developed by an interdisciplinary MU Extension team, the research-based program focuses on positive psychology and mindfulness in sessions held over four weeks. Participants learn concepts and practical strategies they can incorporate into their everyday lives through small group discussion, self-reflection and group activities. The program teaches ways to:

Take better care of body, mind and spirit health

Become more aware of the mind-body connection, and how to use this awareness for better health

Respond rather than react to life’s stressors,

Discover opportunities in life’s challenges,

Develop habits that can lead to better health,

Find ways to bring more joy into life,

Simplify life, and

Live more in the moment.

There is a $40 registration fee for the class and enrollment started Friday. Registration is available at https://extension2.missouri.edu/events/taking-care-of-you-1-2-3-4 through 3/6/2020.
