MONROE — Did you know that more than half of women over age 50 experience issues with bladder or bowel control? These problems can be slightly bothersome or totally debilitating. For some women, the chance of embarrassment keeps them from enjoying many activities and can take control of their life.

A class new to Green County can help. Mind Over Matter: Healthy Bowels, Healthy Bladder is a workshop designed to give women, age 50 and older, the tools they need to take control of their bladder and bowel symptoms. The workshop provides information, group activities, and simple exercises and dietary changes to practice at home.

Mind Over Matter consists of three, 2-hour sessions that will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. on April 27, May 11 and May 25 virtually via the Zoom platform. A Zoom practice session will take place on April 20. This class is free of charge. Pre-registration is necessary and spots are limited. To learn more or to register for the workshop, contact the Green County ADRC at 608-328-9499.
