May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Disney Entertainment Television we were proud to connect staff with mental health and wellness support through a meet & greet alongside the special screening of the The Mandalorian & Grogu movie.

“This is the way”…to prioritizing mental wellness, reducing stigma, and reminding one another that support is always available.

As we celebrate connection, community, and wellness this month: May the Force be with you — in work, in life, and in taking care of your mental health. Savannah Boch

Honored to have been invited to speak with 8th grade students at Yeshiva Har Torah for Choose Your Speaker Day.

I shared how my own high school experiences, the successes, challenges, anxiety, uncertainty, relationships, and opportunities — helped shape my path into becoming a mental health provider in the entertainment industry. One of the biggest messages I wanted students to hear is that high school teaches so much more than academics. It teaches communication, resilience, empathy, teamwork, self-awareness, confidence, adaptability, and how to navigate pressure and uncertainty-and most importantly how to advocate for your own needs.

The future is built not just on grades, but on character, connection, and the willingness to keep growing into the person you want to become. Grateful for the opportunity to connect with such thoughtful and engaged students today.

This Earth Day, Disney Entertainment Television in New York City came together to celebrate something bigger than the planet alone-our connection to it.

The Medical Department, onsite Wellness Team and many other vendors and guests reminded us that caring for the Earth and caring for ourselves go hand in hand. Whether it’s stepping outside for fresh air, choosing nourishing foods, or taking a mindful moment between busy production schedules, small intentional choices support both environmental and mental well-being.

Incredible night celebrating Purdue’s College of Health and Human Sciences at the Black Tie Dinner supporting The Excel Center for adult education. I am truly humbled by the amount of support received throughout this doctoral journey, and this was a such a special way to connect with other students and get ramped up to defend!

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking to a group of talented Juniors and Seniors from LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts about the different career tracks of television media; as well as escorting them on a tour of the sets and control rooms of GMA, The View, Tamron Hall, World News, Mark and Kelly and ESPN to name a few. Thank you to all who participated in helping making the day extra special for our future artists!
