Presenter: Naomi Wolcott-MacCausland

Naomi Wolcott-MacCausland leads Migrant Health Programs with the University of Vermont Extension. She manages a portfolio of grants and initiatives that facilitate migrant and immigrant health access and equity. Recognizing the lack of connection to health services in the population of workers that Naomi supported through a role in Migrant Education, she designed Bridges to Health - Migrant Health Program's flagship initiative that utilizes Community Health Workers to improve access to health and social services for migrant and immigrant workers and their families across Vermont. The program now includes a staff of 10 that do outreach work across the state of Vermont. Naomi also established and co-directs Huertas, a community-based garden project working to increase food security and access to culturally familiar foods with migrant farmworker households. She holds a Master's Degree in Community Development and Applied Economics from UVM. Naomi is fluent in Spanish after living for four years in Central America including two years with the Peace Corps in El Salvador.

*New date* August 2, 2024, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Man Therapy is an interactive mental health campaign and web-based wellness tool targeting working age men (25-64) that employs humor to cut through stigma and tackle issues like depression, divorce and anxiety. The purpose of the Man Therapy campaign is to provide men approaching crisis, and their loved ones, a place to go and learn more about men's mental health, examine their own and consider a wide array of actions that will put them on the path to treatment and recovery. The message is that all men should be aware of their mental health, treat it like they would a broken leg and strive to get better.
