IPSB at LEI is committed to supporting the ongoing health and wellness of our community. This can present some unique challenges during a pandemic, we would like to acknowledge that what makes our community so special is the way we care for each other. We know how profoundly the work we do affects the mental and physical health of our clients and practitioners alike. One of our guiding principles is that we work with the intention of holding the practitioners health first and foremost, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
We wanted to share with you some of the things we are committed to doing to help keep everyone as healthy as possible:
BASICS
Masks are worn at all times in our offices by staff and a mask is required for entry into the space. Regarding mask wearing: if you touch the front of your mask you should wash your hands.
Reusable masks should be washed often and ideally hung in the sun between uses.
We are running a HEPA filter in the office and the building management recently upgraded all air filters to HEPA filters.
The general area and individual work spaces are sanitized regularly.
Hand sanitizer is available at all times.
Everyone should wash their hands often and thoroughly with soap and water.
High touch surfaces (door knobs, light switches, phones, etc…) are disinfected often.
ONLINE OFFERINGS
Lecture portions of nearly all the classes in each of our programs are now offered online so that you can take nearly half your program online, which is the safest social distancing possible.
