BMI & Alternative Health Metrics
Robin Masheb, PhD
Professor of Psychiatry
Yale School of Medicine
"If your clinician is measuring and making healthcare decisions solely on your BMI, they are not accounting for many factors affecting weight including age, race, ethnicity, gender and muscle mass."
The American Medical Association says BMI is an imperfect health metric. Alternative measures, like the Weight and Eating Quality of Life (WE-QOL) Scale, can offer a clearer picture of an individual's health.

Restorative Practices in Education
Dr. Mamie Pack

Restorative practices integrate effective social-emotional learning initiatives along with diversity and inclusion best practices. The goal is to create an environment where faculty are trained, supported, nurtured, and encouraged to engage in professional learning, act with integrity, assume responsibility for student learning, respond?to the needs of a diverse education population and the greater community, and collaborate effectively with others."
