About the Facilitator:
Abigail Ladd is a health coach, fitness trainer, yoga teacher, and fat lady! She have been working in fitness spaces most of my life, but her relationship with food & movement wasn’t always a healthy one. Shestruggled with an eating disorder for most of her life and sadly that created a disordered relationship with fitness.
In recovery, she not only had to heal her relationship with food, but I also had to rediscover a healthy relationship with movement, which is no easy task in our fitness culture of “no pain, no gain.” It was a slow and intentional process. It involved a lot of self-compassion, permission, and an anti-diet & Health at Every Size approach.
It is now her life’s mission to help others make sustainable changes to their life while healing their relationship with food and movement. She is committed to reducing barriers to access and making health & fitness spaces more inclusive, welcoming, and completely shame-free!

This presentation sets off by grounding the audience on a singular definition of mental health using definitions and examples. That sets the context for the affects of loneliness, isolation, vulnerability, and healing. We will jump on a slight tangent to breakdown the effect of digital adversaries on mental health as they are so prevalent in society today. Finally, there is a section on Dos, Don’ts and FAQs to set audience members up for immediate ways they can be mental health stewards in their communities, and to help kick start questions and conversation on the presentation.

Brought to you in collaboration with Jinhyun Shin
Jinhyun has a passion for suicide prevention, focusing especially on its prevention through loneliness. As an ethnographer, he has spent much of his time reflecting with people on the tension in between the circumstances of their challenges and the conditions of their hearts. Along his journey, he developed language to make mental health tangible, actionable, and communal. He has since worked with professional athletes, Fortune 500 companies, veterans, and recovering addicts to provide actionable definitions and frameworks around mental health.
