Dr. Sternberg will engage listeners to think about their spiritual and well-being experiences of place, and will relate her own experiences of place that helped her heal. She will describe the science behind how place and space around us can trigger emotions that help us heal – or, if designed poorly, can do the opposite and contribute to stress that makes us sick. Drawing from this knowledge, listeners will be able to discern how they, too, can create and find a place of peace and healing, just as in the 23rd Psalm.

THE STRESS STRUGGLEThe research is growing. Low morale and burnout in health care professionals is on the rise. We experience ever-increasing levels of stress in our personal, family, work and communities that are impacting us in many arenas. This is an experiential workshop in which we will take a look at how stress impacts the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body and learn different stress management techniques for use long after the conference.

KEYS TO HAPPINESS: MIND, BODY, SPIRIT AND COMMUNITYAlthough happiness has been of human interest throughout our existence, millions of people are unhappy, most are disconnected from their work, and the world is in strife. During the past 20 years, happiness has become a hot (highly popular) research area in several fields, including psychology, philosophy, economics, sociology, political science, religious studies, among others. In this interactive session, we will learn how to be happier at both home and work by discussing the research findings on what people say makes them happy in both settings.

SUICIDE: RISK ASSESSMENT AND COMMUNITY RESPONSE

The workshop will review epidemiologic data on suicide and relate suicidal ideation and behavior to psychiatric conditions. It will discuss factors associated with increased risk of suicide and review ways in which warning signs can be detected by family and the community at large. Possible interventions will be presented. Issues deriving from suicide as viewed in a Western faith community context will be highlighted, and ways to reconcile such issues with the mental health approach to suicide as a catastrophic outcome of a psychiatric illness will be offered for discussion.

BUILDING COMMUNITIES BY BUILDING ALLIES This presentation will engage the audience in a discussion about inclusion in a healthy community and how subtle forms of discrimination contribute to individual and community illness. We will examine internalized notions and prejudices that exist within each of us and within culture as a whole. We will work to identify the hazards of living in a hostile community and discuss how language can either build or diminish connections with one another. The conversation will end with practical next steps that we can take to become a more proficient ally and more engaged community member.
