GPP3O – Leadership & Peer Support - Final Culminating Activity 30%

Overview

A healthy lifestyle impacts every part of your day-to-day work environment. Wellness Programs translate into fewer
absences from school and/or work, a focused mind ready to take and complete tasks, resiliency, heightened overall
productivity and a more harmonious outlook on life. Wellness programs promote general health and well-being and are
increasingly implemented into more and more school and workplace environments. An effective Wellness Program helps
