Keeping Our Focus in the Digital Age

In this interactive workshop, certified Neuropsychotherapist Dr. Elisa “E” Curl-Woodruff or Thompson Therapeutics & will introduce foundational concepts related to attention and motivation, including their evolutionary history and how factors in the modern world have changed how they operate.

This program is free to attend and is open to all ages. Registration is not required.
