ABOUT US

Optimizing wellness for all persons is at the forefront of our organization.

Wellness is a state of living that involves being more aware of – and making choices toward – happier, healthier, and more empowered versions of ourselves.

We believe that wellness is:

• Holistic and multidimensional – including multiple and interrelated aspects of our lives related to emotional, physical, mental, social, career, and spiritual well-being.
• Dynamic and complex – consisting of an in-depth understanding of areas of growth and the development of effective skills to maximize strengths.
• Active and intentional – involving on-going and proactive thinking about fulfilling the achievable life experiences we desire for ourselves.
• Contagious and transformational – wellness makes our lives better, as well as the lives of others.

Metaphorically, we believe that each of us is an individual tree within a larger grove.

At times, we need…

• A more developed, deeper root system (or, to be grounded in our core values and beliefs)
• Stronger trunks (or, resources and supports that provide us strength)
• Fuller branches (or, additional coping strategies and skills)
• More leaves (or, the celebration of our resiliency, successes, gifts, strengths, and talents)

As individual trees are nurtured, other trees as part of the grove (loved ones, co-workers, community members) are nurtured as well.

Like trees in a grove, we all have an innate potential to grow and transform.
