2021 Summer Challenge
2021 Dates TBA Soon!
The LWTech Living Well Committee is committed to helping our colleagues achieve balance in their well-being despite the drastic changes to our everyday lives we've experienced in this past year. The 2021 Summer Challenge will run in July and August again this year. This year's challenge is designed to help LWTech employees practice and learn healthy, wellness-based habits in a world transformed.
Stay-at-Home Wellness Program
Maintaining healthy practices is even more important during stressful, difficult times. Those same circumstances can also make following through on those practices more of a challenge. To help make it a little easier, The Living Well @LWTech committee created the Stay-at-Home Wellness Program.
Modified from the Summer Wellness Program, track what you are doing for your mental and physical health, and don't be afraid to use this time to explore! You can also share what you're doing on the Living Well @LWTech Facebook page. Maintaining our community - even from home - can be a powerful thing!
