Touch of Wellbeing:
This is a 3-Month lifestyle and wellness program for a small group of individuals looking to expand healthy living habits. It includes 3 workshops on topics such as stress management, cooking and massage classes; 3 health counseling sessions; and 2 individual massages. This program was established in 2007 with the Center for New North Carolinian’s (CNNC), Thriving at Three program. The CNNC program worked with Latina women who are pregnant or in postpartum, educating them on basic relaxation techniques, and workshops on sugar; stress, self-massage and sustainable living; and infant massage. The program with CNNC was such a success that SHC decided to offer it to the greater community.
Health Counseling Programs:
These programs take our traditional approach of health counseling and incorporate it into a group setting. This is an option for someone who is interesting in doing the health counseling program but needs a more affordable option and would like to work with other people. This has often been done with a group focused on a common theme: single parents, runners, people in the same neighborhood/office, graduate students, etc.
