Wellness programs
An elementary school aged activity program to promote health and wellness practices and strategies for 3rd to 5th graders that engage families through downloadable Fun Activity Guides.
In an effort to engage youth in prevention and coalition leadership, the Alliance began a youth initiative in 2016. With input from young people from across Oakland County, PEEPs (Peers Educating and Empowering Peers) was formed. This unique group brings together coalition youth members to promote healthy lifestyles through prevention education across Oakland County with a special focus on youth empowering events.
The Alliance's Health and Wellness Initiative utilizes proven best practices to support a "Culture of Wellness" in Oakland County. This is accomplished by providing education and community services on a variety of health related topics, including healthy lifestyles and nutrition and utilizing mindfulness as a means for stress relief. Additionally, the Wellness Initiative provides education on wellness modalities to combat substance use as a means of coping with mental illness and chronic pain.
