2021 Mongolia update II - Health and wellbeing

2021 Mongolia update II

Given the current COVID pandemic is at the forefront of our collective minds, the theme for the second installation of the Mongolia update focusses on health and wellbeing. In these times it is easy to forget the wide range of other health and wellbeing issues that confronts us. Within this second update, these presenters provide a scholarly, non-technical perspective on psychological and spiritual responses to both health and wellbeing.

This event is organised by ANU Mongolia Institute in collaboration with the School of Culture, History and Language and the Embassy of Mongolia in Canberra. Funding was provided by ANU College of Asia and the Pacific.
