Student & Family Wellness

You might be thinking to yourself, what is wellness? In broad terms, wellness is defined as an active process of increasing one’s awareness and pursuit of choices, activities, and behaviors that support a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is the many steps that we take each day on the path to good health.
