Taking an overall approach to wellness is the theme of a program coming from the University of Illinois Extension this year.
Caitlin Mellendorf on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday told Regional Radio News this is a holistic approach to your wellness. She reminds there's a lot of aspects to being well and this seeks to look at all of them.
According to Mellendorf, this is a very introspective look at ourselves and an ongoing analysis of ourselves. She says it relies a lot on our internal cues.
This February, an eight-week program kicks off looks at the eight dimensions of wellness. According to Mellendorf, a sign-up of this free program welcomes you to a private Facebook group and gets you the programs happening for this series.
Extension.illinois.edu is the website to find out more and registrations begin on Friday, January 7 for the program that starts in February. Mellendorf points out this is a collaborative effort of wellness and nutrition educators across the state putting this on.
