Tom Kersting gets fitted for new hearing aids at HearingLife.

“It’s so important to show others how much they can gain when they treat hearing loss—from renewed confidence, to reconnecting with loved ones, to the clarity of your own voice.”

SOMERSET, N.J. (PRWEB)
May 27, 2021

HearingLife, a leader in delivering life-changing hearing care, has teamed up with renowned psychotherapist and best-selling author, Tom Kersting, to help others like himself with hearing loss through the #HearingGain campaign. The recently launched effort encourages those with hearing loss to realize the value of their hearing and discover how much they gain by understanding the signs of hearing loss and treating it appropriately. Kersting not only shares his personal experience with hearing loss and getting fitted for hearing aids, but will also collaborate with HearingLife to offer guidance, encourage people to tell their stories of what they gained from getting the proper care and provide resources for individuals and their loved ones who are experiencing hearing difficulty at HearingLife.com/HearingGain.

“We are excited to welcome Tom to HearingLife to help us raise greater awareness of why it’s so important to take early steps to treat hearing loss, which can happen at any age,” said Dean Pappous, President of HearingLife. “With research showing one in five people who would benefit from hearing aids don’t use them, not to mention the physical and mental strain people feel when trying to manage untreated hearing loss, Tom’s unique perspective and experiences will bring so much to this important conversation.” Adds Dr. Leslie Soiles, Chief Audiologist and a long-time hearing aid wearer. “We’re confident that as he shares his story, he will help show people what can be gained if they get tested and treated.”

“As a mental health therapist and someone who has experienced hearing loss, I know how stressful it can be, especially coming to terms with it. At 45, I realized what I was missing out on and knew I had an opportunity to improve my overall quality of life by getting hearing aids,” said Kersting. “It’s so important to show others how much they can gain when they treat hearing loss—from renewed confidence, to reconnecting with loved ones, to the clarity of your own voice. That’s why I am so proud to share my story and show how HearingLife’s vision to help more people hear better through life-changing hearing care is something they’ve successfully done for me.”

As part of the #HearingGain campaign, consumers are invited to visit HearingLife.com/HearingGain to go behind the scenes of Kersting’s own hearing test and hearing aid fitting and get inspired by others’ stories of hearing gain. While there, visitors can also access the following tools and resources:

Music4Health

We want to give people a safe place to experience different healing modalities that promote inclusivity and diversity, where everyone is welcome. -Johnna Jonasson President & Co-Founder of Music4Health

REDLANDS, Calif. (PRWEB)
May 27, 2021

Music4Heath, a Redlands, California-based health and well-being organization has recently expanded its programming to all age groups, including writing and art workshops that are scheduled for the month of June. 

In expanding its program to all healing arts, Music4Health is offering writing workshops both virtually and in person. The two-hour workshop guides participants through timed writing prompts aimed at evoking written pieces that explore their own personal story or journey; participants are then given the option to share their stories. The group discussions go over obstacles that are faced when writing personal stories, along with ideas and strategies for cultivating a healthy writing practice while building community with each other. Also offered is “Writing to Connect & Connecting to Rebuild,” a men’s writing workshop dedicated to the specific and unique challenges that men face in their journey to mental health. Registration for all writing workshops is now available at music4health.org/writing-workshops.

Together with the writing workshops, Music4Health will also offer the “Post-Covid Peace and Healing Through Art” workshop. This program is offered for four consecutive days with two-hour sessions and invites participants to explore a journey of peace and healing through creative arts by transforming the turbulent aspects of life into peaceful ones. Participants will use creative methods to consider their challenges and learn to address and overcome them through the therapeutic and healing aspects of art, peace and transformation. Prior experience in art is not required. Registration for the art workshop is available at music4health.org/art-workshops.

As Music4Health expands its services to all ages, the goal for the future is to collaborate with partners to create a physical center in Redlands, California and establish a large facility that will provide comprehensive and diverse mental health support and adjunct therapies, including animal-assisted therapy on land outside the city.  

Johnna Jonasson, president and co-founder of Music4Health, has a deep and personal connection with trauma and adversity, having experienced physical and mental abuse during childhood. Her journey of battling depression and anxiety, discovering healing resources that helped her, along with her successful career in health care has compelled her to create a center that incorporates a wide variety of healing practices rooted in bringing together physical medicine, mental health, and various adjunct therapies. 

“We want to give people a safe place to experience different healing modalities,” says Ms. Jonasson. “Today’s health care system is not created to ask, listen, and respond. People often have to visit different places, see different types of clinicians or specialists to try and achieve healing, and all too often they give up because it is incredibly time-consuming, difficult and costly to find resources that help. That’s what we want to work to improve.” 

Still in the early planning stages, the basis for the future Center for Well-Being is bringing together physical and mental health providers as well as a wide variety of adjunct therapy healing modalities in an inclusive trauma-sensitive environment. The goal is to provide people a safe space to experience different healing modalities, promoting inclusivity and diversity where everyone is welcome. Contributors to the future center include Wellhausen Institute, Morningstar Neurofeedback, Kaiser NeuroMap Institute, Yogamour, Harmony Chiropractic, Equus Medendi, different self-care providers, artisans, and other physical and mental health professionals.

Music4Health’s writing and art workshops teach and encourage the healing that can come from putting thoughts and feelings on paper and art. Writing and art workshops are offered in various formats and themes to encourage connection and community among participants.  

Registration for Music4Health’s virtual and in-person writing workshops is now open at music4health.org/writing-workshops. Virtual writing workshops for men and women will be held on: June 10 and 13 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. (women) and July 15 and 29, at 5:00 pm. to 7:00 p.m. and July 18 and August 1 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (men).

In-person writing workshops for women will be held on June 9, 16 and July 7, 14 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Saturday workshops will also be available on July 10, 17, 24, and 31 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

To register for Post-Covid and Healing Through Art, visit music4health.org/art-workshops. Sessions are available from June 16, 17, 18, 19; July 8, 9, 10, 11; July 15, 16, 17, 18; and August 5, 6, 7, 8 all from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. These workshops are all in-person and each session lasts four consecutive days for two hours each day.

All times are Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)

Virtual receptionist firm Abby Connect is raffling off a TV to employees who get vaccinated

Connection is really what drives our company culture, so we want to do what we can to all be together again.

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB)
May 27, 2021

Leading virtual receptionist and answering service provider, Abby Connect (http://www.abby.com), has many employees itching to get back to their normal way of doing things – holding exciting and inclusive in-person meetings, providing delicious group lunches and meals, and celebrations, picnics and overall office fun.

Co-Director of the Abby Way department, Marlene Cosain, explained that “Our goal is to create a safe environment for all of our employees, and to get back to as close to normal as possible. Connection is really what drives our company culture, so we want to do what we can to all be together again. We want to do company team builders again, paint parties, archery competitions, meetings in person, meals, and more.”

Abby Connect’s team hopes to inspire other companies to help people who want to be vaccinated get vaccinated. Cosain followed up “Abby Connect is a no judgement zone – we don’t want anyone to feel badly or judged if they decide to not get vaccinated. It’s not a requirement, just simply a fun way to inspire those who want to get their vaccine to do it.”

In 2020, Abby Connect rode the tides of a city shutdown, some remote working, and many months of socially-distanced working, all while growing the company in clients and staff, and answering over 1 million calls for small businesses who were also trying to get through a challenging year. Celebrations, delicious group meals, events and gatherings were held off for over a year.

Abby Connect’s leaders wanted to make sure that employees don’t have to use their own accrued PTO (paid time off) or not be paid for the hours they spend getting to and waiting in line for their vaccine during their normal work hours, so they will be given up to 4 hours additional PTO for each shot. Cosain said “We know that it’s possible that employees are reluctant to get vaccinated because they don’t want to miss work, get docked on their attendance, or have a smaller check once pay day comes. We want to make sure they feel taken care of because their safety and health, and that of their families, too, is important to us. We’ve already seen employees take is up on our offer.“

As a second incentive, the staff is raffling off a new 55” 4K TV. Each shot gets the employee one ticket. The raffle is going on until the end of June to give everyone a chance to get both doses. At the end of June, someone will be walking away with a fun prize!

Despite the challenging year, Abby Connect remained a top US virtual receptionist service for small business owners, was recognized on the Inc.5000 as a Fastest Growing Private Company and continues to assist more and more businesses as they adjust to the new normal.

The team at Aliso Smiles in Aliso Viejo, CA is pleased to share the launch of their new Hybrid Responsive™ dental website at https://www.alisosmiles.com.
