Dr. Ellen Kamhi interviewed Mr. Ken Snyder.
Ken is an Occupational Therapist, Massage Therapist and Medical and Healthcare Advocate. He has worked with people having a wide variety of healthcare needs including, in-patient psychiatry and substance abuse, adults with developmental delays and multiple physical handicaps in residential and day program settings, children with learning challenges in public schools and on the Reservation, and with physical challenges in the rehabilitation clinic.
He has provided presentations, trainings, and play-shops on topics ranging from on-site massage, stress, task, and mind management (Therapeutic Management Systems), and the Evolution of Consciousness, to NVC (Non Violent Communication), and optimizing the satisfaction we derive from our activities of daily living. He presently offers Quality of Life Extension services to those considering end of life issues.
Most recently, when he’s not walking across the United States to inspire action on the climate crisis or contemplate our complicity with it, he’s busy meeting with government representatives working to draft resolutions to oppose the fast tracking of dubious international trade agreements.
