Tuesday, December 11 @ 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Join us on Tuesday, December 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET to learn about using laws and policies as tools to create communities that are supportive and connected environments for older adults. Presenters will discuss policies and services that can help older adults thrive in their homes and communities, including strategies to support and encourage healthy homes and aging in place. Panelists will also talk about how disability laws and protections, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (which applies to a large percentage of older adults), can support older adults’ participation in community life. Community examples will demonstrate innovative efforts that help older adults live independently as well as create healthy living environments for all.
About the Law and Health Policy Project
The goal of the Healthy People Law and Health Policy project is to highlight how evidence-based legal and policy interventions and strategies can facilitate progress toward Healthy People objectives by improving community health and well-being. In addition to reports and webinars, the project includes “Bright Spots,” or success stories, that highlight successful policy interventions that have led to improved health outcomes.
The project is a collaboration between the HHS Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the CDC Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Learning 2 Breathe Intensive Training
Monday, February 4 & Tuesday, February 5 @ 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
This two-day workshop is designed to help you facilitate the growth of mindfulness in adolescents using the Learning to BREATHE (L2B) program. Demonstration, small-group practice and group feedback are done for each of the six themes of the program. Discussion about the role of the teacher and the pedagogical elements of mindfulness-based programs is part of the workshop. We will be engaged in a mix of demonstration, practice teaching and group discussion throughout both days. The workshop is intended to prepare participants to actually teach the program, so it relies more on practice than on presentation of theoretical and research background information. A short overview of the curriculum will be shared on day 1. All materials for the workshop will be provided. This training can be used to support the implementation of the amended New York State Education Law in Mental Health Education Literacy for schools.
