Every day, there are public health crises threatening the livelihoods of our families and communities. While the novel coronavirus has taken center stage, there are several other escalating issues impacting our society, not limited to: mental health, generational poverty, inadequate nutrition access, and rising healthcare costs that widen the opportunity chasm.

However, there’s still so much hope! 

Our youngest consumers, Gen Z, are much more aware of the health risks of fast food, stress, sugary drinks, various medications, and social media than previous generations. This awareness has been leading them further away from choices that negatively impact their overall health.

🤔 What if we...
awakened to solutions for a healthier future?
became better guardians of our mind, body, and soul?
helped save the lives of our loved ones before losing them too early?
poured into and empowered the healthiest future generations to follow?

🤔 How will the future health of our families and communities look, if we start NOW?

Subscribe to this podcast and join our host, Shavonne Reed, Founder of OPUA Agency, as she embarks on a journey of answering these questions by having crucial conversations with today’s top public health leaders who will edify us all on how to increase lifespans, pay less over time with preventative healthcare, lead more active lifestyles, and build a more sustainable tomorrow… starting today!

Together… we can become more Optimistic People, Unified for Awareness that leads to action and better peace of mind towards the livelihood of our future generations.

38. Unlocking Conversations: Navigating Sexual  Health, Boundaries, and  Values in Sex Ed

Lara Merchant’s passion is teaching young children the social and emotional skills needed in order to be successful in school. This includes responding to children with a trauma-informed approach, as Lara works with a population of children who live with chronic, toxic stress and trauma. It is this population that prompted Lara to complete her certification in Trauma-Informed Practices and Resiliency within her master’s program. These children drive Lara’s mission to ensure schools become trauma-transformed. An out-of-the-box thinker, Lara believes the agent for change will be trauma-informed towns, cities, and states.
