Issue 5
Getting on Board
Welcome Back!
"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things." -Steve Jobs

Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc. and widely regarded as the father of personal computers, acknowledges the merits of connection. During our work-from-home time and interpersonal distancing, we’ve been given a unique opportunity to realize the value of connectedness and the importance of creativity. Please enjoy this weekly newsletter, brought to you by Appalachian's Institute for Health and Human Services. Each issue will be unique and will include information to help combat stress, improve mental health, create training plans and nutritional goals, and provide helpful tips and local resources to stay connected.
