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. Reach out to DEICouncil@civic-us.com
