Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program—The Mindful
Living Center and ACC Wellness have teamed up to offer a
physical/emotional/mental stress management program for ACC
employees. Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention and
bringing awareness to the present moment, and has been shown
to reduce anxiety, depression, stress, medical symptoms
(digestive issues, headaches, sleep problems, etc.), and pain
levels. The practice has also been shown to improve sense of
well-being, immune system function, ability to manage
emotions, self-esteem, energy, enthusiasm for life, and coping
with long- and short-term stressors. This program is offered to
ACC employees serious about managing their physical/mental
health, who are ready to learn new strategies and put time
toward practice. Please register by February 15 by e-mailing
wellnessteam@athensclarkecounty.com.

ball, a great tool for managing pain. Please dress ready to
