promoting wellness
Promoting health and well-being is more than a slogan...it is a lifestyle. We have millions of examples of unhealthy and toxic situations in families, communities, workplaces, governmental agencies, health care, education, justice and entertainment environments. Many people endure the hardship of these encounters daily and some suffer in silence with no hope of a better outcome. We believe it is necessary to promote wellness in every aspect of our lives, starting with ourselves and then those with whom we interact.
The Center for Family and Community Wellness has created experiential education systems to promote health and wellness for individuals and families, in the workplace and communities.
