Choose the Program that Works and Fits for Your School
Starting on the Path
Start your students out with science-based wellness strategies
Students explore what wellness is and why it’s critical to their success and happiness.Eight concise online units give students the science-based skills that foster responsible decision-making, positive self-talk, healthy behaviors, and supportive relationships. Students expand their thinking about what counts toward their success and how to use the right strategies and tools to achieve their goals.Curriculum can be incorporated into class, club, or after-school activities.
Creating Champions
Create champions to model and inspire well-being
This program creates student champions by training a small group of student leaders as peer wellness coaches in the first phase of the program through a rigorous interactive, online program.In phase two, those peer coaches take peers through an evidence-based curriculum designed to empower students with the skills to recognize and manage difficult feelings, define and act in accordance with healthy values, create healthy relationships, and use cutting-edge behavioral science to set and achieve meaningful goals.
Whole-School Wellness
Engage all members of your school community
Wellness 501 offers school communities a comprehensive program that changes lives by changing mindsets and behavior using evidence-based strategies and methods.Rigorous, competency-based training develops a large cadre of certified wellness coaches from within the student body, and teaching and administrative staff.As part of the formal school curriculum or club/project activity, coaches lead semester-long wellness groups that use interactive journaling, discussion, brainstorming, and role plays to internalize healthy ways to think, behave, and interact.
