Holistic Health Saturday Series

ELIE Circle’s 3-part Holistic Health Framework is specifically designed for community-based educational spaces to support the holistic health of both young people and staff. The framework consists of describing holistic health, barriers to holistic health, and holistic health tools.

The first session is focused on staff, I will introduce participants to the framework, discuss barriers to holistic health (oppression – adultism and staff’s stress/identity), detail holistic health tools (advocacy/activism – dismantle adultism, connecting – intentionally build relationships, and introspection), and finish with participants practicing to use the framework in their own work.

Series 1: Monday, July 7, 2025 4p-7p ET
Series 2: Saturday, July 12, 2025 10a-1p ET
Series 3: Friday, August 1, 2025 12p-3p ET

The second session is focused on stress and safety, I will introduce participants to the framework, discuss barriers to holistic health (stress/trauma), detail holistic health tools (connecting – perspective taking and facilitating safety), and finish with participants practicing to use the framework in their own work.
