The Employee Assistance Program is offering a 16-week course designed to help individuals set personal weekly wellness goals and track progress.
The program, offered Jan. 17 to May 15, will utilize the "Younger Next Year" book by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge. Topics covered include exercise, healthy eating, stress management, relationships, sleep and overall quality of life.
Participants will attend weekly brown bag support sessions, participate as a group in Live Healthy Nebraska and record progress with a workbook. All meetings are Tuesdays (starting Jan. 17), 12:10 to 12:50 p.m. in the Nebraska Union.
Professionals from EAP and Campus Recreation will lead the program.
