Dr. Christopher Bader, Assistant Athletic Director for Mental Health and Performance at the University of Arkansas, is keynote speaker at Levi’s Mental Health Luncheon.
Levi Hospital recently announced its first Mental Health Awareness Luncheon, taking place on Tuesday, October 10, in honor of World Mental Health Day.
The event will be held from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Creativity and Innovation Complex on the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts campus located at 220 Whittington Ave., Hot Springs.
The keynote speaker for the event is Dr. Christopher Bader, Assistant Athletic Director for Mental Health and Performance at the University of Arkansas.
Drawing from his extensive experience, Dr. Bader will share insights into the connections between mental health and athletic performance. Through his work with student athletes, he has witnessed firsthand how mental health struggles can manifest throughout the body and how physical injuries can impact psychological well-being.
“We are delighted to have Dr. Christopher Bader as our keynote speaker,” said Jackie Arrison, Levi Hospital’s Vice President for Development. “His expertise in mental health and its correlation with physical performance will undoubtedly encourage an open dialogue about mental well-being.
“I’d also like to thank our presenting sponsor, Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, and our gracious host, the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts. Levi Hospital believes that understanding the delicate balance between the mind and body is essential for everyone, not just athletes. This event aims to enhance overall health awareness and promote identifying issues before they can escalate.”
With additional support from First Security Bank, Southern Bancorp, Empower Healthcare Solutions, and National Park College, the primary objective of the Mental Health Awareness Luncheon is to raise awareness and support for mental health services offered in Garland County and emphasize the connection between mental and physical well-being.
As one of the leading providers of inpatient and outpatient mental health services in Garland County, Levi Hospital works to ensure the holistic health of its community members. Tickets to the Mental Health Awareness Luncheon are $30 per person, and tables of 8 can be purchased for $240 at LeviHospital.com/Luncheon. Early registration is encouraged, as seating is limited.
