The MWC Wellness Peer Education program seeks to increase knowledge of wellness issues across the student community, including the awareness that wellness is a lifelong, holistic process that affects all areas of one's functioning, both as an individual and as a community member. Our goal is to assist students in ongoing self-assessment and in the acquisition of skills and knowledge that will contribute to progressive behavioral change and lifelong health in body, mind and spirit.
Good health means more than just the absence of disease.
Ideally, we balance these aspects of ourselves. If we neglect an area, our personal health as well as the health and vitality of our community as a whole may suffer. Together with professional advisors from the Health Center, Psychological Services and Campus Recreation, the peers choose their areas of focus each year and then plan and present programs campus-wide. The Center is located in the Woodard Campus Center, across from the Eagle's Nest.
