Wellness Program
Our Wellness Program serves youth, families, and communities across Cobb, DeKalb, and Fulton counties, delivering high-quality, research-informed wellness instruction that meets people where they are—during the school day, in afterschool programs, in community spaces, and at special events.
Through strong partnerships with schools, community centers, and local organizations, we provide:
-
School-Day Wellness Instruction – Interactive lessons on emotional regulation, stress management, healthy relationships, and physical well-being integrated into classroom schedules.
-
Afterschool Wellness & Enrichment – Sessions that combine mentoring, academic support, social-emotional learning, and physical activity in a safe, supportive environment.
-
Community-Based Wellness – Workshops, health talks, and fitness classes offered during evening and weekend community events, increasing access for working families and underserved neighborhoods.
-
Family & Community Engagement – Wellness workshops and activities designed to strengthen family bonds, improve communication, and encourage lifelong healthy habits.
In 2025, we expanded our reach to hundreds of students and families across Metro Atlanta, removing barriers to wellness education and physical activity by bringing services directly to schools, afterschool programs, and neighborhood events.
Our holistic approach blends wellness education, physical fitness, and community connection to support mental, emotional, and physical health—empowering youth and their families to thrive in school, at home, and in their communities.
