Workshop Leaders Needed

The Healthy Living Workshop, designed by Standard University, is a six-week workshop that meets one day a week for 2 ½ hours.  Although they were created for people to help manage chronic conditions, they are beneficial for anyone who would like to make healthy life style changes. They are evidenced based and proven to improve health and reduce health care costs. Some major employers are also providing incentives such as wellness points towards discounts on health insurance for their employees for participating in  the workshop.

The Healthy Living Workshops have become so popular that more leaders are needed, both as volunteers from the community or agencies.

The next training and certification for leaders will be January 13, 14, 20, and 21 at NARBHA, 1300 S. Yale St., Flagstaff. Please see the flyer linked below.

NAU Tobacco Free Policy

Greetings

Great news! Northern Arizona University’s Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) is proposing a Tobacco Free Policy to help our mountain campus join over 1372 smoke and tobacco free colleges and universities in the nation. They have worked hard for several years on this issue. Last spring semester they collected many more student signatures than they needed to have the issue put on the ballot.

They are holding two forums with a short presentation with information about the proposed policy followed by a question and answer session. The forums are as follows:

Wednesday, Sept. 24^th at the DuBois Center 7 – 8 pm.

Monday September 29^th in the Health and Learning Center in Health Promotion (on North Campus across from the Natatorium) from 5 – 6 pm

Students will begin online voting on the issue beginning September 29^th and the vote will end on Oct. 6^th.

Please help NAU protect the environment and  health of students, staff and visitors at the beautiful mountain campus.

Please help spread the word!

Take care,

Bernice Carver

Tonier Coin-Nationally Recognized Speaker Comes to Flagstaff-October 4th

Tonier Cain – Nationally Recognized Speaker Comes to Flagstaff – October 14th

Tonier Cain is a nationally recognized SAMHSA speaker and advocate for recovery and trauma-informed care.  In March 2010, her story was launched in the form of a documentary titled, “Healing Neen” which details her transcendent story of emergence from drug addiction, multiple incarcerations and two decades of homelessness to become a tireless advocate and educator on the devastating impact of childhood abuse.  Her story illustrates the great need to rethink how we treat the shattered adults severely traumatized children become.  For more information and to see the video trailer please go here: http://healingneen.com/

In honor of Recovery Month (September) and Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October) NARBHA and FMC have partnered to bring Tonier Cain to Flagstaff for two 90-minute speaking events on Tuesday, October 14, 2014.   Tonier Cain will speak twice, first at FMC’s McGee Auditorium from 8:30-10:00am.  This morning event will be primarily for FMC staff and professionals seeking CEUs.  Tonier’s second 90-minute event will be from 5:30-7pm at NAU’s Dubois Center Ballroom and is open to the public. RSVP is required as seating is limited.

This event is sure to be transformative, inspiring, and educational about the importance of trauma-informed care and the indomitable nature of the human spirit.  I have no doubt that many lives will be touched and changed on October 14^th.

Thank you to hosts and sponsors Northern Arizona Regional Behavioral Health Authority (NARBHA),Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC), and the additional co-sponsors of this incredible educational opportunity:
