Wondr Health Webinar 2023
Research shows that the more we practice accepting ourselves as we are, the easier it becomes to make – and maintain – healthy changes. But the lighter layers that come with the summer season (we’re looking at you, tank tops, shorts, and swimsuits) can be stress-inducing, especially in a society that promotes unrealistic standards for “perfect” bodies. Clinical psychologist and Wondr Health instructor Dr. Dana Labat will share strategies to help you move from body negativity to body neutrality – and eventually body positivity. See how you can level up your self-talk to strengthen your body image, as well as get practical, in-the-moment tools you can take to the beach, at the pool, in a dressing room, or anywhere in between.
You’ll learn:
- Learn how to switch up your self-talk to better support a healthy body image and get comfortable in your own skin.
- See how you can use self-compassion to balance out the habit of self-criticism and constant comparisons to others.
- Try on in-the-moment techniques for taking “dressing room stress” down a notch as you begin to appreciate all your body does for you every day.
- Redefine your own summer to focus on the activities and people you enjoy most this time of year.

ACE Award Winners
1. Ervin Hansen—Winner!
Ervin is one of the genuinely nice and approachable people in this facility. He is always checking on people to make sure they have what they need to do their jobs or just be happy. I recently ran into Ervin at a local hardware store. He was busy picking up supplies for a service project he was involved in helping someone with their house. During the course of our conversation I was able to help him load some heavy supplies. As I turned to leave, he put his arm around my shoulders and asked me if there was anything I needed or that he could help me with. Ervin is going through his own challenges personally right now and most people in his position would be taking a more self-centered or self-pitying posture. Instead he just keeps on being Ervin. I was genuinely touched by his selflessness and impressed that instead of being focused on himself he was spending his time making sure that people’s needs are being met. I believe that Ervin personifies what we proudly call “Our Culture”. I honored to call him friend and believe him to be a worthy recipient of the ACE Award.
