The Harvard Center of Work, Health, and Well-being was one of more than a dozen partners that joined with NIOSH to sponsor the 1st International Symposium to Advance Total Worker Health on the NIH campus in Bethesda on October 6-8, 2014 (#TWH2014).

Glorian Sorensen, PhD, the Center’s Principal Investigator, participated in the opening plenary session with directors of the three other NIOSH-supported TWH Centers of Excellence.

Twenty-five presentations and pre- and post-conference workshops were conducted by Center investigators, collaborators, and post-doctoral fellows, and an information table promoted our online resources.

Center sessions were well attended and there was much interest in the Center’s conceptual model, SafeWell Guidelines (#safewell), assessment tools for worksite walk-throughs, and Indicators of Integration.
