Fitting in you: More important than ever

We know this year is going to be extra exciting, finding all new ways to reach our students and help them feel our support and care. It’s okay to be feeling a mix of emotions. It would be surprising if we weren’t, right? You are not alone.

We will each need to fill our buckets extra full with laughter, support and taking care of our health physically. LPS Wellness is here for you.

 I’m excited about some shifts we are making in our staff wellness efforts this year. They will provide you with extra supports this fall, without adding to your travel time. Moving our UNL Health Coaching to a virtual program is a great first step. I hope you will consider this as a great way to take care of yourself and give yourself six weeks of extra support in your area of health improvement focus. Our LPS Wellness fun this fall will focus first on social-emotional wellness and will be adding some further supports for staff wellness in collaboration with EHA later this fall. Stay tuned for more info… 

Wishing you well.
