Session 1: Our Ideas of Supporting Mental Health are All Wrong - and what we can do instead
When it comes to mental health support and recovery, we work from a individual recovery and deficit model. The truth is that deep breathing, counselling, and medication aren't changing the game in mental health. I'm not against these things, but we are missing a key element: the fact that the mental health of our brains are created socially, in community. In this keynote I give the scientific evidence behind this, and how workplaces, schools, and homes can implement a social recovery model.
Session 2: Resilience Strategies That WORK
There's a lot of talk about resilience strategies out there, and yet we are STILL stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted. I will deliver perfectly tailored keynotes that leave your audience will real-life strategies that go beyond what's typically out there right now.
Connie will also be speaking in our Sunday Morning service at 11 a.m. (November 19).
