Title: Play Our Way to Health
Presenter:James Spikes
Thursday July 23, 2026 from 12-1pm Central Time (US and Canada)
Abstract/description: For many patients in behavioral health facilities, employees, and community members in general , social skills and physical health are often regarded as two separate parts of one’s life that many struggle to build upon. Additionally, finding opportunities for play has become an afterthought, with social and societal stressors taking the forefront. This session dives into identifying how social and physical health can be addressed simultaneously through the power of play.
