Racial healing circles for nurses
2021-08-19 18:30 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Nurses at the forefront of Racial Injustice
As nurses, you are acutely aware of how the COVID 19 pandemic has taken a toll on the physical and mental health of people around the world. This crisis has amplified the inequities in healthcare across communities of color. Early on, nurses such as Lillian Ward have been at the forefront of socially minded health care delivery. Ward was one of the first nurses to identify and address “upstream” causes for illness such as racial injustice, unsafe labor laws, and reduced access to health care. We are also aware that money is not the sole solution needed to improve health care in the United States because nurses see firsthand the necessity of social networks. It not only takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to promote health and care for the sick and elderly.
We are only as healthy as our ability to build a just society.

We will be holding racial healing circles specifically for nursing professionals based on the Truth Racial Healing and Transformation process developed by Dr. Gail Christopher. The circles will be comprised of four 90 minutes sessions led by trained racial healing circle facilitators. In these circles you will be guided to explore your own experience of race in your community, work and family. The goal of the racial healing circles is for people to become more open and prepared to develop policies that support racial justice in organizations and society from a compassionate understanding.
DATES for this session:
August 19th 6:30 – 8:00 pm EST
September 16th 6:30 – 8:00 pm EST
October 21st 6:30 – 8:00 pm EST
November 18th 6:30 – 8:00 pm EST
Successful completion of the program will be based on 100% attendance with 90% on camera active time, completion of four reflexive writing pages and a program evaluation.
Presenters have no conflict of interest to report
6 Contact hours will be awarded
This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by the American Holistic Nurses Association an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing center’s commission on accreditation.

Your facilitators:

Both Dr. Chan and Dr. Brooks have been part of the Lansing Metro TRHT program for the past three years. The development of the circles in Lansing and in Kalamazoo and Flint have been supported by One Love Global and The Kellogg Foundation. Dr . Chan and Dr. Brooks have also participated in bringing TRHT to other communities and organizations. Besides the requirement that all circles are led by persons of different races, Lillian and Roxane have created a wonderful working relationship and friendship over the past three years and look forward to bringing this powerful experience to nurses. It is our hope that as more nurses participate we will be able to train nurses to lead healing circles that specifically address the needs of nurse in all health care settings.

Social Change through Listening
Racial Healing Circles are a time to be present with an open heart though engaged and compassionate listening. The goal of a racial healing circle is not to change policy or laws, but to heal the community by acknowledging hurt brought about by unconscious biases and structural racism that exists in the fabric of our lives. It can be described as spiritual work as we extend compassion and honor the common humanity in all of us.
Generally racial healing circles are comprised of three parts:

Listening deeply
Becoming open to another’s perspective
Allowing yourself to be impacted or transformed by the experience.

More than a time to listen to each other’s stories, racial healing circles allow us to blend those stories into a new community fabric that can then support social change. Racial healing circles accomplish this by outlining a series of “touch stones” that describe how the circle participants will be with each other during the circles.

Be 100% present, extending and presuming welcome
Kindness
Listen deeply
Always by invitation
No fixing
Suspend judgement
Identify assumptions
Speak your truth
Respect silence
Maintain confidentiality
When things get difficult, turn to wonder

Liz Mizelle, PhD, RN-BC, CNE, is an Assistant Professor at East Carolina University College of Nursing in Greenville, North Carolina.
Title: Fluid Intake, Hydration Status and Environmental Heat Stress among North Carolina Migrant Farmworkers
Agricultural work is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States, including a disproportion risk of death from heat-related illnesses (HRIs). Proper hydration mitigates HRI, yet farmworkers report not drinking water due to various pretexts. To date, few U.S. studies and no known studies set in North Carolina (NC) have specifically focused on farmworker hydration status or fluid intake. Liz will present findings from a pilot study and her mixed methods dissertation project which focused on fluid intake, hydration status and environmental heat stress among NC farmworkers. She will also discuss community-based participatory research (CBPR) design, implications of the farmworker studies, and her future research.

ANHE Global Nurses Climate Change Committee: September 16th at 5pm ET/2pm PST on Zoom. Lisa Del Buono will join the September call as we explore the relative effectiveness of a variety of policies from electrifying our transportation system to improving energy efficiency and regenerative agriculture using MIT’s EN-ROADS global climate action simulator. At a time when Congress is deciding the best ways to address the climate crisis with equity in mind, Lisa believes that health professionals should support all the tools in the toolbox, including a price on carbon designed in ways that would benefit those who have suffered disproportionately from the burning and extraction of fossil fuels. Lisa is a recently retired doc who is one of the State Coordinators for Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), co-leads the CCL Health Action Team, and is the Executive Director of Michigan Clinicians for Climate Action (MiCCA).

Title: Exploring greenspace, leisure time physical activity and mental health in the southeastern United States.
There is a growing body of evidence that vegetation where people live is associated with positive mental health. Little is known about the effect these relationships in southern states with more rural population. This study explored the complex relationships between poor mental health, leisure time physical activity and enhanced vegetation index aggregated at the census tract in Alabama. We found those living with more greenness were less likely to have excessive poor mental health days and less likely to not engage in leisure time physical activity.

Guillaume Chevance, PhD Presentation: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context
2021-10-07 11:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
On October 7th at 11am, Dr. Guillaume Chevance will give a Grand Rounds presentation on: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context.
Human activities have changed the biosphere so profoundly over the past two centuries that human induced climate change is now posing serious health-related treats to the current and future generations. Rapid actions from all scientific fields are needed to contribute to both the mitigation and adaption to climate change. This presentation will discuss the bi-directional associations between climate change effects (i.e., rising average temperatures, natural disasters, air pollution, rising sea level) and health-related behaviors, as well as a set of key actions/propositions for the behavioral medicine community.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Guillaume Chevance has a background in sport sciences. He received his PhD in Human Movement Sciences from the University of Montpellier (France) in 2017. The objective of his thesis was to understand the role of specific motivational factors in the adoption and maintenance of an active lifestyle during and after rehabilitation programs. After his PhD, Dr. Chevance started a postdoc at the University of California San Diego (US) in a team interested in the design of eHealth interventions, and notably recognized for their applications of control system engineering methods to the development of apps supporting behavior change. Dr. Chevance then joined ISGlobal (Barcelona, Spain), a leading European institution in Global/Planetary Health, in October 2020 as a tenure-track assistant research professor and head of the eHealth group. He is interested in the dynamics of health behavior change in the context of climatic changes. For that purpose, he uses digital technologies (i.e., accelerometers, smartphones, mobile apps, online datasets) to better understand, and sometimes influence, what is going on in our daily lives.

Hi Everyone – This month we have two special guests! First we’ll hear from Liani Eccles, a DNP-PMHNP student at the University of Arizona. As part of her DNP project she is educating nurses on the current research on PFAS exposure and autism.

Then we’ll hear from Sarah Bucic, an amazing nurse advocate who is currently working for ANHE on advocacy around the Build Back Better budget and the infrastructure package. She’ll help us untangle these complex pieces of legislation, talk about how ANHE has been engaging, and provide examples of how you can be involved around these bills.

Hope you can join us!
