The Wellness Project: Using the Breath in Stress Management - Behavioral Health
Counseling Session Photographer: Douglas Levere
Welcome to the Wellness Project where you will be taken on a journey to increase your knowledge and understanding of the mind-body connection and create a wellness plan that works for you and your clients.
Our goal is to help you bring wellness to the workplace and to your clients. In supporting the overall wellness of your employees you are reducing their stress levels, and improving collaboration and productivity. In addition, the lessons, handouts, and guided exercises can be used in individual and group sessions with clients. This goal of the program is to help you and your employees recognize what mental health and wellness really is, when it’s time to reach out for help, and to reduce the stigma of mental health and mental health treatment from both the individual and organizational levels to create more compassionate and supportive home and working environments. Through clinician participation in their own wellness journey, we hope they gain valuable skills and tools to utilize with their clients. We hope you, your staff, and your clients will join us on this journey.
Impact of Stress

- During June 24–30, 2020, in the US, younger adults, racial/ethnic minorities, essential workers, and unpaid adult caregivers reported having experienced disproportionately worse mental health outcomes, increased substance use, and elevated suicidal ideation. (Czeisler et. al., 2020)
