Saving Your Wellness Program

Abstract

Given the poor health status of U.S. citizens, it is critical to maintain, and even increase, students' opportunities to learn about unhealthy behaviors and to practice healthy ones. However, the current economic environment has led to a dramatic reduction in educational opportunities. Many physical education, health, and wellness programs are not receiving the necessary resources to provide the quality services needed, and are being forced to increasingly justify the need for such programs. This article presents six advocacy secrets that can be used to retain wellness in the curriculum. These suggestions include essential tools for ensuring that institutional decision makers have an unambiguous understanding of the benefits of a wellness program and of how such a program fits into the larger picture of the institution and nation.
