Is your life bombarded with negativity, stress, and countless threats to your emotional well-being, work, or closest relationships? 

New research in neuroscience and positive psychology shows that when we experience happiness and positivity, it turns on all the learning centers in our brains and fuels positive outcomes in all aspects of our lives.

Participants of this program will learn about the common barriers to positivity and personal well-being and find out more about simple science-backed principles and practices or "happy hacks" to boost both positivity and productivity as well as mood and attitude.

Advance registration is required, please call the Rock River Center at 815-732-3252 if you plan on attending.
