In this presentation, you will explore what it means to be human in the context of the different types of technology. The context of the epidemic of mental health, including impact of intergenerational trauma, is explored. Mindfulness has multiple physiological and psychological benefits, including increasing empathy and healthy aging and ways to incorporate these strategies into clinical work for improved social/ emotional health are shared.
