Research has consistently shown that spending time outdoors can have a significantly positive impact on mental well-being. Join us for an intimate discussion amongst HR and Benefits peers where we will explore how to leverage this connection to enhance employee well-being and productivity in organizations.

During this invite-only event, we will discuss:
  • How to encourage employees to incorporate outdoor and mindfulness activities into their daily routines.
  • The link between physical and mental health.
  • Resources that can help teams prioritize spending more time outdoors.
Seating will be capped at 12 guests to facilitate a meaningful discussion among HR and Benefits leaders. These sessions are not recorded and participation is encouraged from all.

These private table talks will take place June 5-6th from 12-1 PM PT. To request your invitation and get more details, fill out the form to the right.

About the panel:
Cynthia headshot.png
Dr. Myra Altman is a licensed clinical psychologist and the VP of Clinical Strategy & Research at Modern Health.

Myra received her PhD in clinical psychology from Washington University in St. Louis, where her research focused on the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. This sparked an interest in the structural factors that influence personal health and well-being, including how the workplace can promote or hinder health. She has spent a decade providing evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, and health psychology and is passionate about how to ensure these approaches are scaled across populations. Myra completed a fellowship in value-based healthcare at Stanford’s Clinical Excellence Research Center where she focused on understanding how best to improve the quality of care while ensuring sustainable costs. She brings all of these perspectives to Modern Health, where her team oversees the quality of the coaching and therapy network, digital content and tools, as well as research and outcomes.

Myra grew up in South Africa, went to cooking school before college, remains passionate about food, and is an aspirational runner and gardener.
