Young Professionals - Lunch and Learn with New Horizons Wellness Services 2/20/2026 12:00 Noon - 2/20/2026 1:30 PM

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 19:35:28 GMT

Join the Young Professionals group for a Lunch & Learn focused on stress management through sensory and nervous system regulation, presented in partnership with Melodie Ethel-King, OTR/L, of New Horizons Wellness Services.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Describe how the nervous system influences stress, focus, and emotional responses in everyday work and life situations.
Identify personal stress and overload signals related to sensory input, routines, and environmental demands.
Apply practical, sensory-based nervous system tools to improve regulation during common high-stress moments (e.g., meetings, deadlines, transitions, and after-work decompression).
Develop a personalized regulation plan that supports sustainable energy, productivity, and well-being rather than burnout.
