The Unconference for Social Wellness is a free event aiming to foster dialogue and collaboration across behavioral health specialists, integrative clinicians, and innovative community leaders.
With this event, we're asking: how can in-person social spaces for communities and cultures foster connection and positive health outcomes? What are workable models of collaboration between formal and informal care professionals?
Social wellness themes we'll be discussing:
Embedding psychiatric and therapeutic care work into community settings
Collaboration between licensed professionals and community leaders / paraprofessionals in informal carework roles (clergy, nonprofit leaders, community organizers)
Implementing biopsychosocial and culturally-informed care models
Financial models and incentives for financing public-private partnerships for third spaces, social wellness initiatives, bathhouses, social prescribing schemes
Reimbursement pathways (value based care, fee-for-service, HSA/FSA, patient-funded) for alternative social care spaces
Loneliness / social isolation interventions related to the built environment (urban mobility, public parks and space, street life)
Extending social wellness to underprivileged / medicare / medicaid populations
We welcome:
Behavioral Health Clinicians & Wellness Professionals: mental health clinicians, licensed therapists, licensed social workers, psychiatrists, coaches, counselors.
Innovative Community Leaders + Entrepreneurs: Community leaders and organizers, facilitators and guides, clergy, spacemakers, and local wellness entrepreneurs.
Integrative Practitioners: mind-body practitioners, retreat leaders, integration guides, and psychospiritual workers.
