Don't freak out over the use of "neuro" in this description. Rather think of this session as more of a deep dive into the brain to help you understand why you feel or react to stress, depression, or happiness in the way you do. Let's face it, these past 19 months have sucked in so many ways. Whether it's work, home, health, family or something in-between, we haven't always handled things very well. And, let's be honest, a walk will only provide relief for a short time.
That's why we enlisted Nancy Michael to help sort all of this out. Our YP Summit Week theme is "All About You." Nancy will speak about the neurobiological underpinnings of mental health, origins of stress, evaluating balance from the perspective of what one's neurobiology actually needs/expects from the world around it. It's fascinating stuff!

Since December of 2014, Dr. Nancy Michael has served as the Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Neuroscience and Behavior major at the University of Notre Dame. In her few years as faculty, Dr. Michael’s dedication to excellence, innovation in education and commitment to community wellness have earned her numerous teaching, advising and community awards. In partnership with multiple community organizations, Dr. Michael works to develop and implement NEAR (neuroscience, epigenetics, adverse childhood experiences, resilience) science approaches that aim to mitigate the impact of toxic stress on individuals and communities. Her research uses a community-based change theory model to work with community organizations in developing population specific NEAR-based strategies to support organizational and community efforts in becoming trauma-informed. She is also a 2018 Michiana Forty under 40 recipient.
