What NASA Can Teach us About Hope, Purpose, and Thriving

Join For All Seasons as international researcher and author Dr. Jeff Thompson shares how the same psychological qualities that help astronauts thrive in space's extreme environments can strengthen hope, purpose, resilience, and well-being here on Earth.

Drawing upon his research in suicide prevention, resilience, human performance, and his ongoing NASA-related work, Dr. Thompson will examine how building lives filled with meaning, connection, and hope is essential to supporting mental health and preventing suicide. Participants will gain practical, research-informed strategies they can apply in their own lives and share with others long after the presentation concludes.

During this session, you will:

- Discover how NASA's approach to preparing astronauts can inform resilience and well-being in everyday life
- Gain a deeper understanding of suicide prevention through the lens of hope, purpose, and human flourishing
- Learn practical, research-based strategies to build resilience, foster meaningful connections, and support yourself and       those around you
- Enjoy a free lunch while connecting with others who are passionate about promoting mental wellness
- Walk away with practical tools and a renewed perspective on how we can move beyond surviving life's challenges to         truly thriving
