Brain health is a foundational component of human health and wellness. Just like breathing, we constantly feel and experience emotions and our experiences directly affect our work, clients, families, health, and communities. However, we are not biologically built to navigate these experiences alone. The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, outlines that the quality of our relationships with others impacts our physical, mental and behavioral well-being in his loneliness advisory (Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation, 2023). In a nation where trends are showing social connection is decreasing and social isolation is increasing, it is vital that we intentionally build quality connections with our families, friends, communities, our purpose, and with ourselves. When we intentionally improve these connections, we can reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation while increasing our resilience. Our connections make us stronger, and together, we can face all that life brings our way.
Be Well Initiatives at Burrell Behavioral Health is a brain health and wellness program caring for employees and our community through consistent practice and resiliency building. In this session, the Be Well Initiatives team will walk participants through the science behind quality connection, invite participants to engage in evidence-based strategies and provide tangible, experiential and practical tools to begin increasing quality connections together, in community. Since 2020, Be Well Initiatives has been engineering and providing a model of brain healthcare that encompasses inclusivity, trauma-informed care and strategies for navigating the on-going impacts of the pandemic on our lives. Society needs and deserves brain health care and belonging in new and different ways. Let’s Be Well together!
