EMOTIONAL WELLNESS with Dr. Mark Lerner
Emotional Wellness with Dr. Mark Lerner is a micro-audio podcast series focused on what you need to know—rather than what’s nice to know—for listeners worldwide.
The National Center for Emotional Wellness defines emotional wellness as the awareness, understanding, and acceptance of our feelings—and the ability to effectively manage challenges and change. It also reflects our capacity to sublimate: to harness painful emotional energy from adversity and channel it into action—not merely to survive, but to thrive.
The mission of the Center is to advance emotional well-being by integrating technology, evidence-based strategies, and the irreplaceable power of authentic human presence.
Grounded in AI-Integrated Emotional Wellness (AIEW), this series incorporates accessible, evidence-based information with the irreplaceable power of genuine human presence. It is designed for individuals, leaders, and diverse organizations navigating our increasingly complex and rapidly evolving technological world.
