SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Nature\, Art\, and Service as Medicine with Journalist Julia Hotz
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nBe sure to jump start your new year with us as we chat virtually with journalist and author Julia Hotz about her book The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement\, Nature\, Art\, Service\, and Belonging. \nThe Connection Cure combines diligent science reporting\, moving patient success stories\, and surprising self-discovery to help us discover the lasting and life-changing power of social prescribing. Traditionally\, when we get sick\, health care professionals ask\, “What’s the matter with you?” But around the world\, teams of doctors\, nurses\, therapists\, and social workers have started to flip the script\, asking “What matters to you?” \nScience shows that social prescribing is effective for treating symptoms of the modern world’s most common ailments—depression\, ADHD\, addiction\, trauma\, anxiety\, chronic pain\, dementia\, diabetes\, and loneliness. By integrating age-old medicines like art\, nature\, movement\, and volunteer service into patient’s daily lives\, social prescriptions are radically changing health and healthcare in more than thirty countries. Julia Hotz travels around the world to survey them —sea-swimming lessons for depression\, “culture vitamins” for anxiety\,  a fishing club for ADHD\, a farm-based day-care for dementia\, a phone-buddy program for social isolation\, and many more. \nAs the first book on social prescribing\, The Connection Cure empowers you to find\, experience\, and implement this revolutionary medicine in your own community. The success stories Julia finds bring a long-known theory to life: if we can change our environment\, we can change our health. By reconnecting to what matters to us\, we can all start to feel better. \nRegister today to find out how you can use the wisdom of social prescribing to live your best life! \nAbout the Author: Julia Hotz is a solutions-focused journalist based in New York. Her stories have appeared in The New York Times\, WIRED\, Scientific American\, The Boston Globe\, Time\, and more. She helps other journalists report on the big new ideas changing the world at the Solutions Journalism Network. The Connection Cure is her first book.
