Life stages: mental health across a lifetime
So often a line is drawn between our physical health and our mental health, and yet our brain and our body are one. What impacts one influences the other. From the moment of conception to our final breath, everything from our genetics and family history to our age, lived experiences, and environment can play a role in our overall well-being and how we languish or thrive. As we work toward resilience, wellness and recovery, how do we address life stressors, both physical and emotional, and environmental? What have we learned about natural, systemic and community supports? And how do we as individuals, families, caregivers, organizations, and communities respond to meet the needs of those impacted by mental illness across the lifespan, as well as focus upstream on prevention?
Join us this September as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Zarrow Mental Health Symposium and examine Life Stages: Mental Health Across a Lifetime. We’re looking for dynamic and experienced presenters to help our participants explore evolutionary research, innovative programs, promising practices, creative collaborations and outside-the-box thinking to address the needs of individuals and families, as well as influence more dynamic and coordinated systems.
