    The American Cancer Society and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) have an ambitious goal to achieve a 40% reduction in cancer mortality in the United States by 2035. If we are to achieve that goal, we must fight to achieve health equity, the just and fair opportunity for everyone to prevent, find, treat and survive cancer – regardless of how much money they make, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, their gender identity, their disability status, or where they live. The October 28 Research and Innovation Forum will discuss what is being done across Minnesota to advance health equity in cancer prevention, treatment, and research.

    The ACS CAN Minnesota Research and Innovation Forum is a premier event that brings together leaders from the business, education, medical, government and research communities to advance the work of ACS CAN. The event not only unites those in Minnesota who are fighting to end cancer, it serves to support ACS CAN and its work.

    Mind-Body Connection Healing Practices

    Healing from historical trauma and toxic stress starts when each person learns to gets in touch with their mind and body. It’s important to pay attention to how we feel, particularly when things start to spiral out of control. By learning to be mindful of how stress is affecting our bodies we can then develop the skills to maintain control and respond to our daily stressors and toxic stress more effectively.  Participants will learn about the mind-body connection and techniques to get you over the hump and put you in control again.  Breathing skills and mindfulness practices can help us to remain calm, and avoid those negative, harmful, and destructive thoughts and emotions that make it difficult for us to think clearly or rationally.  We all need each other; participants in this workshop will become empowered through learning strategies and practices to help ourselves and those around us find more peace, joy, and happiness. YOU GOT THIS!
