2023-2024 Employee/Educator Wellness Representatives
The wellness team is excited to announce the continuation of the Employee Wellness Representative. This program is intended to support employee health and wellness. The Employee Wellness Representatives will primarily be responsible for supporting faculty/staff wellness efforts within your schools or department.
If you’d like to have a representative for your school or department, please note the following information:
- We will be holding an Employee Wellness Representative Training Retreat on 9/19/23 & 1/19/24, details will be shared with wellness reps and administrators from schools who designate a representative for their school or department.
- As a peer support program, we recommend that each school select a non-administrative, licensed staff member (we also encourage you to choose someone who is not a member of the mental health team). Ultimately, it’s best to choose someone who is not a supervisor, has the trust of their colleagues, and can support employee wellness initiatives at your school or within your department.
- If a substitute is required to attend the training retreats, schools will need to cover the cost of a substitute.
- Administrators are invited to attend the retreat with their designated employee wellness representative, these trainings will focus on strategies for employee
- Our District Wellness Specialists will maintain contact with each representative and support your efforts.
