Holistic Approach to Health and Wellbeing: Exploring the Toivo Model

Abstract

Join members of the Toivo team to learn the ways in which they have successfully integrated holistic practices into the current system of mental health care. Toivo is a peer-run nonprofit initiative funded to bring mindfulness-based practices to individuals struggling with mental health and addiction issues. The team offers classes like yoga, meditation, tai chi/qigong, sound healing and laughter yoga in psychiatric hospitals, addiction rehab facilities, homeless shelters, prisons, senior centers and schools. Participants can expect to learn about the impacts of stress, how these practices have been impactful in the lives of the presenters and will have the opportunity to experience some of these practices first hand.
