Guide to Wellness

GUIDE TO WELLNESS An ever-evolving collection of resources to promote mental and physical health.

Presented by The DEI Council’s Safe Spaces Committee Fall 2020

Hello.

Wellness can mean a lot of things — moreover, it can mean something different to everyone.

This guide aims to put members of the CIVIC community in a position to discover and sustain wellness practices and communities that speak to them as individuals.

These offerings will all be either f ree or low-cost to encourage consistency and accessibility.

Lastly, this guide is ever-evolving.

We welcome any suggestions, at any time.
