The purpose of the Discover Inclusive Wellness Workshop is to provide step-by-step guidance to schools and school districts to develop, implement, and evaluate comprehensive school physical activity programs. The workshop will introduce you to the guidebook that can be read and utilized by a group that either already exists (e.g., school health council or wellness committee) or a new group or committee that is made up of physical education coordinators and teachers, classroom teachers, school administrators, recess super visors, before- and afterschool program supervisors, parents, and community members. Our goal is to help you learn more about building an inclusive wellness program so that your school community can use these materials to develop a new comprehensive school physical activity program or assess and improve an existing one. This workshop was developed to provide guidance and evidence to support voluntary school efforts that are focused on youth physical activity programs.

We are also looking for a few schools to work with us on implementing some strategies, participate in trainings and utilize these materials in their programs through a pilot program. If you are interested, please email us at email@nchpad.org and let us know you are willing to work with us on the wellness pilot project.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please contact us at email@nchpad.org and title the email "Inclusive Wellness Workshop."
