Women’s Health Across the Life Span: Ten Strategies to Promote Well-Being

Description

Dr. Helen L. Coons will review ten clinical strategies to promote health and well-being in women across the lifespan. While profoundly resilient, women all too often cope with undertreated complex and interacting physical conditions, anxiety, insomnia, relentless fatigue, depression, trauma, work-place discrimination, and caregiver burden among other determinants of poor health and mental health. These challenges are even more common in persons from minoritized and marginalized communities. Dr. Coons will discuss robust treatment and prevention interventions aimed at supporting women’s physical, psychological, relational, sexual, and economic health.
