The Region VIII National Prevention Strategy Collaborative and the Colorado Federal Executive Board present the Federal Forum on Resiliency and Wellness in the Workplace to educate and engage staff and leaders in conversation about resiliency and wellness.

Expert speakers will share why workplace wellness is important for Federal workplaces and how it can contribute to well-being, productivity and resilience. Family-friendly policies and practices will be shared.

Participants will be introduced to new techniques and government-wide trends and will receive practical tools that integrate wellness and communication strategies into daily practice at work, and methods for setting goals for healthy eating, fitness, sleep, decreased stress, and building inner-strength.

Federal peers will share best practices about wellness programs and policies implemented in their agencies.

NATIONAL PREVENTION STRATEGY

Improving the Health of Communities

Seventeen federal departments make up the National Prevention Council, a group who are all committed to outlining how federal, state, local, tribal governments, businesses, health care systems, learning institutions, communities and individuals all play a part in prevention. The Council has recently released the National Prevention Action Plan which outlines how these departments are implementing prevention efforts, in line with their respective missions, to improve the health of the nation.
