The Wellness Project: Using the Breath in Stress Management - Employers
Business Meeting. Photographer: Douglas Leverei
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 plan that works for you.
Our goal is to help you bring wellness to the workplace. In supporting the overall wellness of your employees you are reducing their stress levels, and improving collaboration and productivity. This program will 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. We hope you and your staff will join us on this journey.
