The institute aims to provide resources and hope to those that struggle with mental illness, and to those who support them. The institute strives to educate people on mental health issues through various outreach programs.

Presented by Larry Stoler, MSSA, Ph.D., this introductory workshop will introduce participants to an approach to treating anxiety that is based on a foundation that is consistent with modern science, and Eastern spiritual practice, particularly Chinese Medicine. This approach honors, but also extends the current practice to address and remedy deeper causes of anxiety. Participants will be taught easy-to-learn Qigong (“Chee-Kung”) practices drawn from Chinese Medicine that they can use for self-healing and share with their patients. This workshop will help practitioners have a better understanding of therapies adapted from Eastern philosophy, gain confidence in using these integrative approaches, and broaden the range of approaches they can use to treat anxiety.
