Summary:
Because of the interconnected link between mental health and physical health, hospitals should focus on mental health as another avenue to improving patients’ stays. In this session we will discuss the idea of therapeutic outlets, their strengths and weaknesses, their challenges, and what we can do individually and as a group to help support this idea.

Hello! My name is Trevor Hedrich! Someone who has had Pompe disease ever since the age of three. I am currently a college student at Saginaw Valley State University! Although I have recently switched my major to computer science this year, I have been in public health for a couple of years previously, leading to this choice of topic for the session. If you are curious about my hobbies, I tend to game a lot, read a lot, write a lot (I am a poet!), and try out new things every so often! I am so excited to be a speaker for this session of TWYPP! See you there!
