Stress overload is a root cause of mental health problems and chronic diseases, yet research has shown that cognitive methods fall short of switching off the stress response. In this presentation, emotional brain training founder and health psychologist Laurel Mellin, PhD, describes how processing emotions based on physiologic brain states can directly and rapidly switch off the stress response with technology that can be applied in public health programs.
Mental health is a prevalent and persistent problem among the United States’ adolescents. Between 2009 and 2019, 40% more adolescents have experienced persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Since COVID-19 and the isolation that came with it, this is even greater. This FREE webinar addresses rising mental health challenges. Samantha Bertomen and Lisa Peters, CHFP introduce an educational and multi-faceted approach to create a better world for our youth, where mental health is no longer stigmatized, youth have access to the resources they need, and their health outcomes are improved.
