October 27, 2023 11:27 AM

Dear Providers:
 
Please join Amerigroup Georgia Families 360° for their Q4 Virtual Community Town Hall, scheduled for Tuesday, October 31 (10A-12P).  The focus will be on Integrating Holistic Therapies into Traditional Mental Health Care.  Immediately following the TH is our Table Talk discussion (12P-1P).  It offers our caregivers a safe space to process and share.

Integrating holistic therapies into traditional mental health care can provide a more comprehensive approach to well-being. Practices such as mindfulness, yoga, art therapy, and acupuncture can complement conventional treatments like therapy and medication. This holistic approach aims to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of mental health, promoting overall healing and resilience. Note: It's important for individuals to work with qualified healthcare professionals to create a personalized and effective treatment plan.
