1) The document discusses the experiences of LGBTQ students and teachers facing discrimination and lack of support in educational settings. It provides examples where a teacher was told they would not be welcome if gay, and a student was expelled for coming out.
2) It discusses the social and health impacts of discrimination and lack of support for LGBTQ youth, including higher rates of suicide, self-harm, substance abuse and dropping out of education. Having family support or attending a supportive school acts as a buffer.
3) It describes the ALLY@UNSW program that trains staff to support LGBTQ students, with the goal of creating an inclusive environment and preventing harassment.
This document discusses factors that affect engagement for non-high school leavers and mature age students at Macquarie University. It outlines several theories related to health, social identity, sense of community, and human goals. It also discusses the student experience domains of academic, para-academic, student support, amenities, and administration. Key factors that can influence student engagement are readiness, participation, performance self-efficacy, self-regulation, and general wellness.

Laura Mann Center Integrative Lecture Series: Fall 2014Cara Feldman-Hunt
The document discusses the history and impact of the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing (PGIHH) at Allina Health, an integrated health system in Minnesota. Key points:
1) PGIHH was founded in 2003 and is now the largest integrative health program integrated within a health system. It focuses on prevention, wellness, and lifestyle-related diseases.
2) Studies show PGIHH services significantly reduce patient pain, anxiety, and length of hospital stays. For example, oncology patients saw a 46.9% reduction in pain and 56.1% reduction in anxiety.
3) PGIHH aims to transform healthcare delivery through a holistic, preventative approach.
Initial screening shows that 80% of people are at low risk for alcohol abuse and do not require further screening. High-risk drinking, which is defined as more than 4 drinks per day or 14 drinks per week for men and more than 3 drinks per day or 7 drinks per week for women and those over 65, can lead to social, legal, medical, domestic, employment, and financial problems as well as reduced life expectancy and increased risk of accidents and death from drunk driving. Consuming any amount of alcohol during pregnancy can cause serious birth defects.
This document outlines the 5 steps of a Brief Negotiated Interview (BNI) algorithm to address a client's substance use: 1) Raise the subject and discuss pros and cons, 2) Provide information on guidelines and risks then elicit client thoughts, 3) Use a readiness ruler to gauge readiness to change and reinforce positives, 4) Negotiate a change plan by identifying strengths and supports, having the client write steps, and offering resources, 5) Offer additional resources and close the interview by summarizing the discussion.
The document summarizes standard drink sizes in the United States and their alcohol content. It provides examples of different types of drinks - such as beers, wines, and spirits - that contain approximately the same amount of pure alcohol (0.6 fluid ounces) and count as one standard drink. It emphasizes that knowing standard drink sizes can help people make informed decisions about drinking and stay within recommended limits.
This document outlines a 15-step process for providers to conduct a Brief Negotiated Interview with patients regarding their alcohol and drug use. It involves raising the subject with the patient, providing feedback on their risk level, enhancing their motivation to change, and negotiating a plan for reducing substance use risks. The provider is to check off steps as they are completed and bill appropriately using Medicaid codes for alcohol and drug screening and brief intervention sessions lasting 15-29 minutes or 30+ minutes.
This document summarizes screening results for substance use risk levels and the short-term and long-term effects of cocaine, marijuana, and opiates. An initial screening shows 80% of people are at low risk and don't require further screening, while 15% are at mild risk, 2.5% at moderate risk, and 2.5% at severe risk. The short-term effects of cocaine include an intense high followed by depression, while long-term effects include heart attacks, strokes, and sleep and nutritional problems. Short-term effects of marijuana include anxiety and problems with attention and memory, and long-term effects include weight gain and lung cancer. Short and long-term effects of opiate use include drows
The document summarizes the chemical composition and effects of marijuana. It notes that marijuana contains over 460 active chemicals including THC and CBD, which are the primary psychoactive compounds. The potency of marijuana depends on various factors like genetics and cultivation methods. Marijuana today is generally more potent than in the 1970s, with buds containing 8-25% THC. High potency concentrates can exceed 70% THC. Regular or heavy teenage marijuana use is linked to problems like addiction, lower educational attainment, lower IQ, and increased risk of mental health issues. Even casual adult use has been shown to impact brain structure and functioning.
1) Distracted driving from phone use results in thousands of deaths yearly from distracted driving. Texting takes a driver's eyes off the road for about 5 seconds, like driving blindfolded for a football field. It is illegal in Vermont to use a handheld phone while driving.
2) Wearing a helmet during sports reduces the risk of head injury by 85%. Even low-speed falls can cause permanent brain damage. Children have high bike injury rates, and bike crashes are a top cause of death for children.
3) Seat belts save lives and reduce crash injuries, as motor vehicle crashes are a top cause of death for those aged 5-34. Use seat belts on every trip and properly
Integrative Nutrition: Integrative Health Week 2014Cara Feldman-Hunt
This document discusses integrative nutrition and functional medicine. It begins by stating the objectives of being able to describe the benefits of an integrative nutrition model and key areas impacted by food and nutrients. It then defines functional medicine as taking a systems-oriented approach to address the underlying causes of disease using various evidence-based practices. Nutrition is a critical component of both integrative and functional medicine approaches. The document provides examples of functional nutrition plans that can be used for various health conditions like chronic pain, GI issues, obesity, and depression.
September 2012 integrative practitioner meeting minutesCara Feldman-Hunt
The September 2012 meeting minutes of integrative practitioners summarized the following:
1. The group agreed to shorten future meetings to 1.5 hours and include a self-care component at each meeting.
2. The October meeting will feature a presentation on Chi Walking.
3. Potential future meeting topics included homeopathy, research sharing, sustainability/avoiding burnout, financing models, and case reviews. Presenters on mindfulness, language of touch, and life coaching were also discussed.
This document discusses integrative oncology and comprehensive care for cancer patients. It defines integrative medicine as combining biomedical care with complementary therapies to heal the whole person - body, mind and spirit. The document notes high rates of complementary and alternative medicine use among cancer patients and barriers to discussing these therapies with oncologists. It emphasizes treating the individual patient and their disease, and the importance of lifestyle factors like diet, exercise and weight in cancer prevention and survival.

Wellbeing is not just another word for physical health—it is about finding balance in body, mind, and spirit. In this state, we feel content, connected, energized, resilient, and safe.
Wellbeing is possible even in the midst of chronic or life-threatening illness, with maturing bodies and minds that struggle with dementia. It’s about addressing the whole person where they are and increasing capacity within that person’s limits.
Our model of wellbeing was created by Dr. Mary Jo Kreitzer, Director of the Center for Spirituality and Healing, at the University of Minnesota. In her extensive work and research around integrative health and healing, Dr. Kreitzer identified six dimensions that contribute to wellbeing.These take into account our interconnectedness and interdependence with our friends, families, and communities, as well as the personal and global environment we live in. They also address the importance of security and purpose in our lives.
The model can be conceptualized and expressed at many levels—including the individual, family, organization/system, and community.
Health is affected by the food we eat, how often we exercise, how we manage our stress, and how much we sleep, as well as social, environmental, and genetic influences. Lifestyle choices are responsible for nearly 90% of health outcomes.
Physical Activity: Don’t just sit there—move your body to prevent and reduce the risk of many diseases, improve physical and emotional health, and live a longer life. Note: Matthew Sanford – physical health does not equal wellbeing.
Diet: Your food choices have a bigger effect than you think. Nutritious meals and mindful eating can foster your own wellbeing and have a positive impact on your environment and the people around you.
Sleep: Don’t underestimate the importance of sleep, which has far-reaching effects on your mood, ability to concentrate, connections to others, and even your weight.
Thoughts & Emotions: Learn to recognize how your thoughts and emotions make a difference —in your physical and mental health, relationships, and overall wellbeing—and how to cultivate a more positive outlook.
Stress Mastery: Feeling overwhelmed? Learning to recognize your stressors can help you control how you respond to them, leading to a more relaxed, healthier life.

Purpose guides life decisions, influences behavior, shapes goals, offers a sense of direction, and creates meaning. Purpose is directly related to both health and happiness, and it has a major impact on our wellbeing. Purpose can be different from a job or career and in an older population needs to be redefined. Retirement with no purpose leads to death.
Life Purpose: Why do you get up in the morning? Knowing your own answers to this question can help you live a more engaged, fulfilled life.
Spirituality: Experiencing a connection to something larger than yourself can offer a sense of meaning in life and provide comfort to help you cope with life’s challenges.

Healthy relationships are a vital component of overall health. We humans are social animals and as such, we have an innate need to be involved with other people. Strong family ties and friendships can increase our sense of security and self-esteem and provide a psychological buffer against stress, anxiety, and depression.
Health risks of being alone or isolated are compatible with the risks associated with smoking, high blood pressure and obesity.
Our larger social networks can also provide a sense of connection where people can share their concerns and support others. We cover these broader social connections in the Community section.

So what do we mean by community?
In our wellbeing model, we are talking about societal groups that live in a defined geographical area and share physical and governmental resources. This kind of community exists at different levels, from neighborhoods to towns to states and countries.
Community wellbeing is an interesting concept because it exists in the wellbeing of both:
the individuals who make up that community
the larger “superorganism” of the community (and in the norms and habits that arise within that community)
Connection is fostered by a community’s social networks that:
Offer social support
Enhance social trust
Support members living harmoniously together
Foster civic engagement
Empower members to participate in community and democracy
A livable community is supported by the infrastructure, including:
Housing
Transportation
Education
Parks and recreation
Human services
Public safety
Access to culture and the arts
An equitable community is supported by values of diversity, social justice, and individual empowerment, where:
All members are treated with fairness and justice
Basic needs are met (adequate access to health services, decent housing, food, personal security)
There is equal opportunity to get education and meet individual potential

Think of the environment as concentric rings starting with your home and workplace and widening out to your neighborhood, your region, the entire planet. At each level, environmental factors impact human health. At each level, we impact the environment with our choices and actions. This not only includes the quality of the air and water, but also the quality of our relationship with nature.
Personal Environment: Environment free of toxins. The air you breathe, the water you drink, and even the noise levels in your personal spaces all impact your health in an immediate way.
Nature and Us: Access to nature – biophilia. In addition to meeting some of our most basic needs, nature relaxes, refreshes, and heals us. In turn, we need to work to heal nature.
Global Environment: Almost every choice you make affects the environment on some level. Working to create a sustainable lifestyle benefits the whole planet.

At its most basic level, security means freedom from fear, especially our most basic fears around health, personal safety, and financial stability. Because fear can immobilize and incapacitate us, security is essential to our wellbeing.
Facing Fear: At its most basic level, security means freedom from fears that constrict us. To have true wellbeing in our lives, we need to face our fears and anxieties.
Rethinking Money: Our society tells us that money brings happiness. But research suggests that isn’t always true and that we should rethink the role of money in our lives.
Safety and Prevention: One of the most important things you can do for your wellbeing is to make wise decisions that keep yourself safe and healthy.
