Mini Mental Makeover

Duke Personal Assistance Service (PAS) provides a Mini Mental Makeover session each month through Health Matters. These sessions allow you space to slow down, reflect, and grow in gratitude in an online group setting. The Mini Mental Makeovers are led by Laurie Kovens, a Senior EAP Counselor with PAS. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional, with over 15 years of experience.

These sessions are not recorded to maintain privacy and ensure safety when sharing thoughts or experiences.

Bearing Witness: Genocide, Silence, and Responsibility in Sudan

This roundtable discussion examines the ongoing catastrophe in Sudan by posing urgent questions: What is happening on the ground? Who are the key armed groups and political leaders? What ambitions are driving the violence? The conversation will explore how civilians have become the primary victims of internal power rivalries and regional and international interference, resulting in mass displacement, famine, and atrocities that many observers describe as genocidal.

Mobile Health Assessment

Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.
