SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The mission of Digital Wellness Day 2020 is to empower individuals, communities, and organizations with research-based tools and strategies to flourish in a digital age. Conceived and led by the Digital Wellness Collective, this international event will empower individuals, organizations and communities with research-based tools and strategies to flourish and publicly share their ideas and experiences regarding achieving digital wellbeing.
COVID-19 has triggered dramatic social-economic changes, whereby so many of us are suddenly living, working, studying and socializing remotely in a virtual world. Digital Wellness Day will be a catalyst for exploring and sharing how we can evolve and flourish in this context of living, and enlighten us to thrive in the digital age.
Digital Wellness Day 2020 presents an opportunity to highlight best practices in Digital Wellness, including working from home, and will highlight how technology can help us feel together rather than apart, illuminating the connective power of technology to enhance human relationships.
A Digital Wellness Toolkit, a Digital Flourishing Survey with actionable recommendations created by top researchers in the industry, and an Engagement Guide will be available to organizers and Ambassadors of the virtual events, providing the most up-to-date research and resources on digital wellness.
"Our team is delighted to be launching Digital Wellness Day and providing an e-toolkit to support individuals, educators, and organizations with resources for year-round digital wellness", says Nina Hersher, co-founder and CEO of the Digital Wellness Collective. "We have the power to utilize technology in a way that fuels versus fatigues us. This knowledge is integral to the Digital Wellness movement – empowering individuals, organizations and communities to be change agents toward a culture of digital flourishing."
