About this event

What is Wellness?

Definition of wellness: the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively pursued goal // lifestyles that promote wellness

The Global Wellness Institute defines wellness as the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health.

The World Health Organization defines wellness as being “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

Pfizer says wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving.

Throughout the school year, SCAN has been offering ways to support school staff with increasing their wellness. As many definitions say, wellness has to be actively pursued. This summer, we’re continuing the pursuit.

Join us for an engaging wellness dialogue and experience on July 14th from 9:30am – 12:30pm. Increase your awareness around wellness, learn helpful tips, create your wellness toolkit, and build your wellness plan or maybe recommit to following your wellness plan. You will also be able to take ideas back to your schools as you establish your staff wellness rooms.

Masks are required. Lunch and light refreshments will be provided. And we'll have some great giveaways!

*Parking is available in the garage across the street from the YWCA. Street parking is also available. The Y is also accessible via the GRTC.*
