Researchers are beginning to recognize what traditional cultures have long understood—to dance is to learn, but many teachers feel ill-equipped to incorporate movement into their classes. Rural teachers rarely have access to movement curricula, and available online content does not reflect the cultural contexts of rural and Indigenous students.

This presentation will analyze previous research done on soldiers during WWI (Shell Shock), WWII (Battle Fatigue), and into Vietnam (PTSD) moving forward. This presentation will focus on the effects that these combat disorders had on military training, battles, and operating procedures throughout the 20th century. The 20th century brought, with its technological progress, deadly new tactical and psychological problems into warfare, and it deserves to be analyzed for its historical context.
Mental health is a topic often not talked about until tragedy strikes, and is indeed a public health concern. In the spirit of prevention, how can we engage children and youth in activities that promote their mental, emotional, and physical well-being? Physical activity interventions for mental health are a promising frontier in modern research.
Do microorganisms affect human behavior in relation to the diet provided? This question is significant because everyone has microorganisms that interact with food in the stomach. Should the research show positive correlation to the topic, it would mean that a healthy diet is important to mental health. Many of the sources in this presentation are peer-reviewed with the topic having no clear counter-argument at this time. The preliminary conclusion reached is that a healthy diet promotes mental health.

Relaxation time as a measurement tool has not been explored as an indicator of life satisfaction in parents. Camdon Engelbach wrote a multiple regression analysis survey to further explore life satisfaction. It's important for parents to maintain positive life satisfaction, as a large part is transferred to children; children absorb behavior.
