HMSA is offering ONLINE HEALTH EDUCATION WORKSHOPS on various topics. Workshops are Webex classes that teach about nutrition, stress management, and other aspects of health and well-being.
Note: Participation is voluntary and open to all KapCC employees, regardless of health plan affiliation.
ONLINE WORKSHOP TOPICS
- WELL-BEING 101 People often try to make lifestyle changes to benefit their health. Unfortunately, these changes are often hard to make and stick to. Learn how to use the “stages of change” model for making comfortable, lasting improvements. Taking smaller steps can make it easier to exercise more, eat healthier, and relieve stress.
- WORKSTATION WELLNESS Work From Home Edition Do you suddenly find yourself working from home full time? While the commute might be more pleasant, spending hours with a makeshift workstation and a disrupted routine might be wearing you down. If certain precautions aren’t taken, it could lead to increased risk for repetitive motion disorders, poor posture, eyestrain, and perhaps most dangerous — a sedentary lifestyle. Learn how to make the best of your new work environment.
- STRESS BUCKET Coronavirus Edition Each of us has a limited amount of stress we can “hold” before overflow occurs. In recent weeks, the number of stressors coming at us has rapidly increased. Knowing how to manage and “drain” this stress is crucial in preventing high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and other health afflictions. Join us and realize simple (and often enjoyable) ways to lower the volume of stress in your “bucket.”
- EATING ON THE RUN Takeout Edition You may be aware that fast foods tend to be high in salt, calories, and added sugars. But it is also likely that you are craving some comfort foods during these uncertain times. In this session, we will look to find a balance between eating healthy and eating happy. If we can’t always make the healthiest choices, with the right amount of knowledge and determination maybe we can make choices that are “less unhealthy.”
