In partnership with Alberta Health Services, the Yellowhead East Health Advisory Council (YEHAC) is hosting a virtual Community Conversation on wellness, where we will explore the six dimensions of health.

All participants will be included in the kick off Social session, and are invited to choose two of the following five topics:

1. Spiritual - The importance of spiritual wellness and the connection of an Indigenous singer's experience of healing through music therapy.
2. Intellectual - Exercising the mind to keep it active is as important as maintaining physical fitness and strength. To ensure that the brain works as best as it can, the mind needs to be challenged every day. Thankfully, exercising the mind can be fun, easy to do and can also improve memory, daily life skills and overall mental health.
3. Emotional - Our educators offer practices based in positive psychology research that you and your team can begin using immediately, whether you have 30 seconds or 30 minutes. We'll introduce you to wellness practices that may be new to you or that may build on your current practices. At The Nest Project, we encourage positive change in an environment built on connection and compassion.
4. Physical - This session will teach you how to increase your heart rate, strengthen your muscles, improve your balance and increase your flexibility from the comfort of your home. We will be utilizing a sturdy chair, your body weight and a set of soup cans, filled water bottles or weights to safely and effectively exercise your whole body. This session will be appropriate for all ages and activities levels as regressions and progressions will be provided as needed.
5. Environmental - Surrounding one’s self in a positive environment allows us to look after our mental and physical health. Please join Registered Dietitian Monique Smith to review virtual opportunities for learning to promote to support wellness through healthy eating.

The event will take place on Zoom, and a personalized link will be emailed to you after you register. Please select only two of the above topics (on the next page) for a breakout session. Feel free to share this invitation with your networks (within the community).
