The UHS Wellness
Council is a rapidly growing council dedicated to improving the health and
wellbeing of the student body. We focus on promoting mental, sexual, physical,
and nutritional health through creative and informative ways. Our
council’s mission is to make a positive impact on our students by ensuring that
students feel safe and supported through the school community.
Within our 3
years of running as a council, we've launched multiple initiatives and events
throughout the school including dog therapy days, a Youth Speak conference,
compliment grams where we've gotten 800+ submissions, how to deal with stress,
mental health boards where we share our worries and ways to help each other,
online initiatives; and much more! One of our main events every year is Wellness
May where we spend a month dedicating to spreading awareness and helping the
student body with mental, physical, nutritional and sexual health!
If you’d like
to learn more about what we do or how you can get involved with the council,

3:15 pm to 4:15 pm!
