B-1D Complementary Health Care: Increase Engagement Holistically (CE-RN, CME) Room 207A Track: Treatment While complementary health care is not intended to supplant licensed medical care, it can be used to enhance existing treatment plans.

This session explains some of the most common forms of complementary health care, including yoga, meditation, mindfulness and biofeedback, and the potential for these to be beneficial from a security perspective. New programs being piloted within correctional facilities will also be discussed, along with ideas for receiving funding through federal partners.
