Global Health Alliance Our Less Screen More Green Mindful Tech Plans™
bring balance and nurture physical and mental wellbeing at home, school and work in this digital age.
Global Health Alliance is a Canadian charity dedicated to the physical, mental and social wellbeing of children, youth, and adults from all backgrounds.
We offer in-person and online programs with our Mindful Tech Plans™ including Earth-Connected Kids, Care for the Caregivers and Wellness In The Digital Workplace. Our programs are founded upon mindfulness practices and science-based strategies.
We support youth - and adults - in how to reduce screen-related stress and get off screens more often and truly connect with each other and the natural world.
GHA is a registered charity dedicated to the advancement of public health. We are concerned about the impact of technology and digital media on cognitive, cardiac and social well being, as well as the health and early development of children. Our team includes: physicians, educators and environmentalists concerned about unprecedented levels of environmental health hazards. The Less Screen, More Green – Mindful Tech Program™ (Canadian trademark application pending)
is a Global Health Alliance project.
​
The program includes facilitator training for parents, teachers, environmental educators and youth leaders so they can offer this in their homes, schools, workplaces and communities. Childhood inactivity has become a global epidemic. All families, youth and adults should have access to outdoor play and the healing power of connecting with each other and the natural world. They should be fully informed about the health impact of excessive screentime and the science-based interventions.
