The area of Public Health and Wellness has gained a great deal of momentum over the past decade. This webinar explores the application of dance/movement therapy (DMT) to the area of Public Health, Wellness, and Prevention. Salient terms are defined. In addition, strategies are offered for positioning dance/movement therapists to contribute to this field such that attendees understand how to “connect” these two areas of practice.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will learn general terminology related to the areas of Public Health, wellness and prevention.

2.  Participants will enhance their understanding of the connection between the fields of dance/movement therapy and Public Health and Wellness

3.  Participants will take steps toward applying the Public Health approach to their own (or potential) workplace environments.
