Teacher testimonial

"Finally we have a framework into which all our work fits like a glove! The Wellness Resource has provided both philosophical and practical threads that logically and creatively tie together the many varied themes we develop in our program."

Counselor testimonial

School Health Coordinator testimonial

"The Model speaks to young people about taking responsibility for their own health and well-being. The Wheel metaphor is practical and easily understood by any age and could be adapted to a wide range of learning styles. The student-friendly ideas can easily be integrated into curriculum and extra-curricular health promoting lessons and activities. It builds on all of the principles of health promotion."
