Last week’s focus was Nutrition and this past weekend was International Weekend of Self Care.

We encouraged staff to focus on self care and nutrition to support their overall wellbeing. .

Special thanks to our Employee Experience Director, Russell Dye for assembling our nutrition and self care kits!

We want to hear from you- how do you practice self care?

HYDRATION 💦 💪🏽 is this week’s focus for .

Taking care of our employees is always a top priority! How are you staying hydrated this summer?

August is and we are celebrating all month long with weekly focus areas to engage staff in overall well-being.

Here's a quote that sums up why wellness is important to us:

“It is imperative that we work together to foster an environment that lends itself to prioritizing self-care, because we understand that if we don’t care for ourselves, we can’t show up for our clients or the communities we serve." - Russell Dye, Director of Employee Experience.

Stay tuned for how we will support employee wellness through these weekly focus areas!
