Iowa State, she said, is fortunate to already have centers that address some of these holistic needs, places such as training and development, the marriage and family therapy clinic, employee assistance program, women's center, physical therapy center, ISU extension, occupational medicine, the exercise clinic and recreation services. Depending on individuals' needs, she suggests these existing services or offers her own. It is scored by a computer, and Dusselier, Giesking or Oldham review the results with the individual. It's free and will be mailed to any employee. Call Dusselier, 4-3240, to request a wellness profile questionnaire.
Employees also can complete a fitness assessment, alone or as part of the wellness assessment.
After that, it's up to an individual to decide what's next. It's up to the person and what he or she wants to work on. Wellness staff do have lots of ideas for those who opt to do something, she added. In addition to personal assessments and consultations, Wellness Program staff are available to speak to groups of employees about any related topic. Call the office, 4-3240, and make your request.
