This document provides guidance on using assessment forms to gather client information and make outcome-based coaching decisions. It recommends beginning with an initial assessment form to understand client goals, health, lifestyle and limiting factors. Based on the initial assessment, targeted forms can then be used to collect additional data on specific areas like eating habits, stress, social support or athletic performance.

The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Linking Self-Care and Wellbeing to Impact Beth Kanter
This session is about how and why it is important to treat self-care and well-being as an organizational strategy and cultural norm. When self-care initiatives are treated as “extras” instead of being built right into the fabric of an organization’s culture, they are nothing more than a Band-Aid, barely disguising the underlying chronic stress and eroding the nonprofits ability to meet its mission. This session will share the latest thinking on well-being in the nonprofit workplace based on the presenter's book “The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout.” Going beyond a narrow focus on physical health and wellness, the session will share examples and insights from nonprofits that have created and implemented a culture of well-being in the workplaces that supports results.
The document discusses bringing self-care and well-being into the nonprofit workplace. It begins with an overview of burnout and its symptoms. It then provides various self-care tips that individuals and nonprofits can implement such as getting sufficient sleep, going for walks, practicing mindfulness, and taking real vacations. The document emphasizes that well-being must be embedded in an organization's culture through leadership, employee engagement, and intentional focus. It argues the benefits of prioritizing well-being include cost savings, higher productivity, and attracting and retaining top talent. Overall, the document promotes the idea that self-care is a key part of doing impactful nonprofit work.
This document summarizes a presentation by Beth Kanter on creating a healthy and sustainable approach to fundraising. The presentation discusses the risks of burnout for nonprofit professionals and provides strategies for implementing self-care practices and building a culture of well-being at nonprofit organizations. Key points include identifying symptoms of burnout, developing a personalized self-care plan, establishing small, sustainable habits using a "tiny habits" approach, and engaging employees to shift organizational culture to prioritize wellness. The presentation argues this approach can improve outcomes like retention, productivity and stress management.
Beth Kanter discusses burnout in the nonprofit sector and provides strategies for self-care and creating a culture of wellbeing in the workplace. Burnout is common due to high demands, few resources, and lack of recovery time. Self-care includes consistent habits to enhance wellbeing, such as protecting sleep, going on a news diet, meditative art, scheduling quiet time, and taking real vacations. To create wellbeing in the workplace requires leadership and culture change through staff feedback, wellness programs, and small policy changes rather than quick fixes. The benefits include improved recruitment, retention, health, and performance.
A presentation at Active Lives: Transforming Ourselves and Our Patients 11/10/12 delivered by Dr. Edward Phillips discussed filling exercise prescriptions.

This 5-step program provides comprehensive health and fitness coaching to help clients achieve their goals.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
