Wellness Groups

Wellness Education

In this weekly group we explore the tools to achieving a higher state of well-being. According to the American Medical Association, lifestyle accounts for 83% of a person’s over-all health. The A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Health Program addresses the primary factors, which determine ‘lifestyle’ (Air, Water, Eating Healthy, Sleep, Movement, Optimism and Energy). The group also covers a gamut of self-care related topics such as; “illness as messenger and the healing journey”, daring to re-open your heart and mind, techniques of thinking more optimistically, the art of self-acceptance, etc. Although there is a set format with a weekly plan, we tend to focus on the areas that people are most interested in and feel they will derive the most benefit from.
