Just in time for Valentine’s

 Mental Health Team Speaker, Dr. Lyssa Bayne

In a previous Wellness Wednesday blog Howdy, Neighbor! we  explored the ways friendships and relationships positively impact our health and overall well-being. People may have strong feelings for or against Valentine’s Day, so this month we celebrate love in all forms. On Tuesday (Feb. 7) at 6pm the Mental Health Team offered a FREE speaker event with Dr. Lyssa Bayne. We explored communication in relationships and learned skills to promote effective communication in relationships.

A bit about Dr. Lyssa Bayne:
“I’m a clinical psychologist in the White River Junction VA System and primarily spend my time balancing working with individuals and couples. I work with couples from their 20s through their 70s and with a variety of goals. Working with couples and family systems has been a long-standing interest of mine and I also have a Masters in Human Development and Child Study. I’m originally from Minnesota and moved to the Upper Valley in 2021. My non-work hobbies include rowing, baking, hiking, and basking in the outdoors.”
