Right Thoughts, Right Direction
The unique challenges faced by amputees during daily activities can be a source of discouragement and fear. Our guest speakers, Crystal Quarry, Psy.D, and Rick Myers, C.P., will discuss the physiological and psychological benefits of having a positive mindset - especially during those challenging times. They will present clinical information and personal and professional experiences demonstrating the benefits to both body and mind of a persistent, positive outlook.
