The Kindness Effect: Elevate Your Brain Health (virtual)
Tuesday, December 3, 2024
10 AM - 11 AM PST
Unlock the power of kindness with Jennifer Fraser, PhD, award-winning educator and author!

When we think about being kind or unkind, we tend to focus on the impact we have on others. While this is vitally important, it's also key to know how being kind or unkind impacts our own brains. Extensive research has taught scientists a great deal about what occurs in our brains when we disconnect with others by being callous and when we connect with them by being kind. It has serious implications for our brain health and overall health. Kindness is a choice that can bring us amazing health benefits as well as benefits to others. Understanding why we might feel an impulse to be unkind, learning strategies to replace this impulse with "co-regulation," can do wonders for our health, happiness, and high-performance.
