St. Luke’s Penn Foundation

The Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Children and Teens
2021-10-28 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Microsoft Teams Presentation
The Pennridge Community Partnership, a partnership between the Pennridge School District, Grand View Health, and St. Luke’s Penn Foundation, is kicking off a new educational series to address a variety of topics impacting adolescents and teens.
The first of three presentations, The Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Children and Teens, will feature the expertise of Amie Allanson-Dundon, MS, LPC, CFAS, CCTP, CCDPD, CAADC, Network Director of Clinical Therapy Services for Psychiatry at St Luke’s University Health Network, and Jason R. Frei, LCSW, MPA, School-Based Clinical Coordinator, psychotherapist, and founder of YESS! Program (Your Emotional Strength Supported!) at St. Luke’s University Health Network.
“Our children are our greatest resource,” says Allanson-Dundon. “The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked a mental health epidemic of proportions unlike anything we have ever seen. Parents, teachers, school administrators, nurses, coaches, and ancillary staff need to know signs of depression, anxiety, and other related behavioral and emotional conditions in order to quickly identify students at risk. Suicide, substance use, and self-harm are on the rise nationally for school-aged children. This webinar will address these daunting concerns and how to help our young people work through difficult emotions.”

Grief is a Dancer
2021-12-02 19:00 - 20:30 | LCBC Church (100 Main Street | Harleysville, PA 19438), 100 Main Street, Harleysville, PA, 19438, United States
Grief is a Dancer
Presented in word, music, and dance by
Gregg and Susan Hurley of HurleyInMotion and author Alisa Bair
Join us for a community-wide event that brings us together to acknowledge
the pain and loss we’re all experiencing through this difficult time.

After the loss of her 8-year-old daughter to brain cancer in 1993, Alisa Bair turned to writing as she grieved. She published two books: “A Table for Two” in 1998 and “Grief is A Dancer” in 2021. These books document her experiences with grief and propose that grief is an intuitive, loving, life-long partner in sorrow, not something to “get over.”
For 15 years, Bair has collaborated with HurleyInMotion on grief events to deliver a program that helps people grieve through word, music, and dance. HurleyinMotion is a performing arts ensemble that has been building bridges and connecting communities since 2005. Choreographer Gregg Hurley is an Associate Professor of Dance at Messiah University and performs alongside his wife, Susan, an Adjunct Professor of Voice at Messiah University.

Additional Event Details
Each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of Bair’s book “Grief is a Dancer.” There will be a book signing following the one-hour program.

Embracing the Spiritual Discipline of Solitude to Enhance Your Ministry
2022-05-10 08:00 - 10:00 | Univest Community Room, 807 Lawn Avenue, Sellersville, PA, 18960, United States
The past few years have been hard. As servant leaders connected to various ministries, our personal and professional lives have been turned upside down. We’ve all been working overtime and in innovative ways to care for those we serve. As we begin to emerge from more than two years of varying levels of isolation, it’s time to pause, reset, and reconnect! As we move forward, let’s not leave the spiritual discipline of solitude behind, but rather, let’s learn how to embrace spiritual introspection as a way to grow a deeper spiritual community.
Have you ever considered the benefits of a workout for your faith? Deepening our connection with our faith requires a plan, the right mindset, and practice – just like exercise. Whether our spiritual practice and routines involve a walk, meditation, or prayer, mindfulness techniques can be applied to help us grow in our ability to be more present with God and others.

Take Home Tool Box for Your Ministry Education and Outreach

Practical examples/exercises – including mindfulness resources and techniques – to help your faith community find meaningful solitude, inner peace, and community connection
Mental health practices to help regulate emotions and decrease stress, anxiety, and depression
Educational resources identifying the medical & scientific connections to the mind/body/spirit

Keynote Speakers
Padma Fanning is the Clinical Mindfulness Instructor for St Luke’s University Health Network. She has studied and practiced mindfulness and meditation for 37 years. She is a certified Breathworks Mindfulness-Based Pain Management instructor and a qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction instructor.
