At the intersection of #lifestylemedicine and #healthequity lies a creative space to design and evaluate #mindbody and #stressreduction interventions in a way that supports individuals who might not otherwise have access to these resources. At Metro Nashville Public Schools, we converted our Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course #MBSR to a virtual format and had the opportunity through a seed grant from the Osher Center for Integrative Health at Vanderbilt University Medical Center to gather both qualitative and quantitative data on patient experiences and outcomes. Last week, Bobby Russell PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT and I shared these research findings at the Art & Science of Health Promotion Conference through the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP). #employeehealth #selfcompassion #teacherburnout

I had an amazing time at the 34th Annual Art & Science in Health Promotion Conference with my fellow Rowan student interns. We were able to further our understanding in health inequities and learned strategies to prevent them to ensure a future of equitable healthcare for all. It was a pleasure to work with Patti Weber and the International Foundation and I look forward to attending this conference in the future as a practicing occupational therapist.

Kathy Bergstrom, CEBS does a wonderful job summerizing the article I wrote for International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP) Benefits Magazine. I had the pleasure to present two sessions on Fostering a Supportive and Inclusive Workplace for Employees With Substance Use Disorder” During the 34th Annual Art & Science of Health Promotion Conference. Participants were eager to engage in reflections and conversations about the role each of us play in addressing the issue. Lots of ah! ah! moments were had. #endstigma #workplacewellbeing #addictionrecovery

Look who I ran into at the Art & Science of Health Promotion Conference last week! Of course we had to take a picture out in the natural elements! 😊 Jay was a recent guest on the Improvly Speaking Podcast where he talked all about the benefits of nature, so I was super excited to hear this talk! I had the distinct honor of introducing Jay Maddock and Jennifer D. Roberts for their Nature For All breakout session last week. It also happened to be Dr. Roberts' birthday that day, so we got to celebrate her and hear about her passion for this important topic. Dr. Maddock spoke about the research on nature and our well-being. Dr. Roberts spoke about how nature has helped underserved populations throughout history and how marginalized populations often don't have the same access to nature as privileged groups do. It was such an interesting session, and the hour flew by! These are just a few of the pictures of the slides I took to remember for later. Yes I can review all the slides from the conference, but I look at my photo gallery more than I look at full presentations saved on my computer... While I can't provide access to their awesome breakout session (there are recordings for purchase if you're interested), you can hear Jay talk more about nature on the Improvly Speaking Podcast. You will be inspired to get outside after listening to it. 🌄🌻 🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gNMVC8BK 🎧 Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts! #ashpc #ashpc24 #conference #conferencespeaker #nature #wellbeing #podcastguest

I'm still basking in the joyous connection and deep learning I am grateful to have been a part of at the Art & Science of Health Promotion Conference last week. Dayna Gowan and I facilitated a two day skill-building training for a phenomenal group of health promotion leaders (and a 1 hour presentation and 1 hour "play to connect" session the following day), and learned so much from the curious and compassionate folks who joined us. Feeling energized and inspired to continue infusing play into mindset and culture-shifting workshops. Applied improv WORKS!

More than 30 years ago, legendary National Basketball Association (NBA) coach, Phil Jackson, introduced mindfulness to the Chicago Bulls. Phil brought #mindfulness to the workplace – the basketball court. Mindfulness at work?! 😲 More than 3 years ago, we started integrating mindfulness into our workplace at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Last week, my colleague Jennifer Salaverri, LCSW-C and I delivered “How to Integrate Mindfulness into the Workplace” at the Art & Science of Health Promotion conference. If you want the same presentation at your organization or conference, contact me. ☎️ Mindfulness makes it easier to adopt all six pillars of lifestyle medicine as defined by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. Thank you International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans (IFEBP) for the invitation to present. Thank you for introducing our session Lana Saal, EdD, MCHES, CWP, CHWC. #lifestylemedicine #employeebenefits #humanresources
