Why Wellness?
Wellness programs on high school campuses provide students with opportunities to strengthen their learning around teen physical, emotional, and sexual health; learn and practice self-care, and access short-term support. Wellness programs also decrease stigma around seeking help and have a proven ability to positively influence student learning and increase engagement in the school community.
