Porter-Starke Services Presents 'Nature Deficit Disorder'
On Tuesday, March 16, Porter-Starke Services will host its Learn @ Lunch series with an informative educational lecture entitled, "Nature Deficit Disorder" from 11:30am - 1:00pm at the Knox Community Center, located at 55 East Lake Street in Knox, Indiana. Kyle Otten, BS, Director of Beyond Boundaries at Porter-Starke Services will be the featured presenter.

Explore the value and necessity of getting our children and ourselves back in touch with nature. A reunion with nature reduces symptoms of ADHD and lowers stress while increasing creativity, cognitive skills and connection to life.

Porter-Starke Services Learn @ Lunches are monthly educational seminars featuring informative and practical mental health and wellness topics. Seminar locations alternate between Valparaiso, Portage and Knox and are open to the general public as well as clinicians and educators. Mental Health America of Porter County offers 1.5 Continuing Education Credits for $5.00.

There is no charge for the presentation. Lunch can be purchased from our Wall Street Cafe for $6.00 or you may bring your own. RSVP is required for attendance. For more information, please call Amanda at 219/476-4502 or e-mail info@porterstarke.org.
