Children’s Wellness

Children's wellness is a growing concern in the United States. Today, our children face many serious health issues. These issues include poor nutrition, inactive lifestyles, increasing levels of stress with little knowledge of how to handle it, and a general lack of understanding of the importance of hand-washing and general good hygiene.

Wellness Works is dedicated to helping children learn to make healthy lifestyle choices. Through interactive presentations, activities and health fairs, we offer children the opportunity to learn essential skills for staying healthy. The folllowing programs are available:

Stuffee

Stuffee is a 7-foot, overstuffed, blue haired doll that turns "inside out" to reveal all the major abdominal organs for a fun-filled anatomy lesson.

High Five

This presentation is designed for children of preschool to third grade. It teaches children proper hygiene and how to stay healthy.

Wellness 4 Kids!

This program is made up of a collection of interactive presentations that teach children the importance of staying healthy and safe. Some of the presentations include how to make healthy food choices, sun safety, proper hygiene, safety tips to avoid the ER, and much more!
