SUMMARY:Careless Vespers with Dr Dan Neal
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discover how the monastic Rule of St. Benedict could guide us to create healthier communities.Careless Vespers: How the monastic Rule of St. Benedict could guide us to create healthier communities with Dr Dan Neal Therapeutic Communities have a history going back to work at the military hospital of Northfield in the Second World War. However\, they can also be seen as representing an integration and application of an exhilarating plethora of ideas with roots in many other fields.

In this talk\, Dan will trace some of these interrelations\, with mutual benefits in both directions.  Bio   Dr Dan Neale\, a Counselling Lecturer at the University and Professional Development Centre is a Group Analyst who spent many years working in Therapeutic Communities. He is especially interested in applications of group analysis and TCs to other fields\, and vice versa.

SUMMARY:How to get to people moving? with Dr Andrew Brinkley
DESCRIPTION:A brief overview on the approaches and latest research to changing people’s behaviour in a sedentary age.How to get people moving? With Dr Andrew Brinkley Amid growing concerns about national fitness and media panics over weight loss drugs\, this talk explores the latest research on changing public behaviour to improve health. From simple approaches to complex interventions\, discover how these findings are applied in Suffolk\, touching on sports psychology\, public policy\, and health. Dr Andrew Brinkley is a Lecturer in Exercise Psychology within the School of Sport\, Rehabilitation\, and Exercise Sciences at the University of Essex\, a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol)\, and the Programme Lead for BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Psychology.

He has a particular interest in behavioural science and systems-thinking methods and evaluation. Examples of his work include workplace sports and exercise interventions designed to improve employee and organisational health\, programmes developed to improve educational and social outcomes in young people educated within pupil referral units\, nationwide Walking Netball programmes established to improve quality of life\, loneliness\, and mental health\, place-based public health programmes in Essex\, and whole-systems physical activity projects. Across a variety of settings\, Andrew is interested in how real-world physical activity interventions and programmes underpinned by behaviour-change theory and systems-thinking can be effectively evaluated and translated into practice and policy. He has published his work in leading journals and presented his research at conferences and to the population it seeks to serve through research consortiums and public engagement events.
