This week, host Dr. I. David Daniels will speak with Dr. Lili Tenney, the associate director for outreach and programs at the Center for Health, Work & Environment and an assistant professor at the Colorado School of Public Health, where she teaches graduate courses in the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health. She is also president of the Society for Total Worker Health.
The origins of TWH can be traced back to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) initiative called “Steps to a Healthier US”. In 2014, NIOSH created the Office for TWH Coordination and Research Support (Office for TWH) to coordinate and advance these efforts. The comprehensive nature of Total Worker Health (TWH) approaches requires innovative thinking to design and inform current policies, programs, and practices that advance worker well-being. NIOSH funds ten academic Centers of Excellence for Total Worker Health to inspire innovation in the field.
One of these centers is located at the Colorado School of Public Health. The school is built on the collective expertise and vision of faculty at three leading educational and research institutions: the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the University of Northern Colorado. The Center for Work, Health, and Environment focuses on research, education, and practice.
In this episode, Dr. Tenny will share her view on the concept of Total Worker health and share some of the work on-going at the Center for Health Work & Environment.
