Health & Wellness

Why is health and wellness so important?

The words “health” and “wellness” impart thoughts of eating nutritious food, exercising, positive relationships and mental clarity – but as many studies will tell you, it is easier said than done.

Every person alive has basic human needs, and when those needs are not met, we can feel out of sorts. With daily life putting us on autopilot quite easily, we may need to be reminded that we have the power to change things within our control. The key to change is having the right resources. Enter: our Health and Wellness page.


How to use this page:

We know your time is valuable, and with emotions running high, it might be overwhelming to scroll through a whole page of resources and figure out what ones are relevant for you, so we’ve created categories to make your search easier.

Scroll through the dropdown menus below and click the one that is the best fit for you. Many times, needs may require more than one category of resources. For example: if you are feeling stressed due to a lay off, your mental health may be suffering AND you may require financial resources.

This is a “living page”, meaning links and resources may be changed/removed/added from time to time in and effort to keep our page current.

While this is by no means an exhaustive list, our goal is to provide helpful, relevant resources to our residents.
