The Tinnitus Support Group of Northeast Pennsylvania will meet Friday, March 6, at 2 p.m. at The Wright Center for Community Health Mid Valley, 5 S. Washington Ave., Jermyn. A virtual attendance option will be available for those unable to participate in person.

The support group welcomes individuals living with tinnitus, their family members and friends, and anyone interested in learning more about this complex audiological and neurological condition. Participants can connect with others who share similar experiences, exchange practical coping strategies, and find encouragement in a compassionate, confidential setting.

At the March meeting, featured presenter Lisa Rigau, RN, will discuss how mindfulness and lifestyle medicine can help manage stress and enhance overall well-being. Rigau is a registered nurse, nutrition counselor, and community educator who specializes in health, wellness, mindfulness, and nutrition.

Rigau is a certified mindfulness teacher in mindfulness-based stress reduction through the Mindfulness Center at Brown University. She is also a certified mindful eating–conscious living teacher and mentor through the University of California San Diego, having trained directly with the program’s founders.
