“Package of 5 Wellness Model”
We avoid the simple solutions. We try not to say “If we could just…” because that reinforces a consumer mentality. What’s your Fave 5 when it comes to mental health and work wellness? Five (5) things, when combined together, make a big difference in our own health and wellness.
Oh yeah.

SYLVIA MENDEZ at renaming of Sylvia Mendez Elementary in Berkeley, CA
Mendez Fought California’s Segregated Schools. Sylvia Mendez was a young girl in the 1940s when her parents fought for Latinos to have access to white schools in the California court case Mendez v. Westminster. They won in 1947. Tonight we honor Sylvia Mendez at the renaming of a school in Berkeley, CA – SYLVIA MENDEZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
We have far to go, it’s wonderful to celebrate inclusion and diversity in our schools.

“I could tell that she was smiling, over the phone.” Positive school climate begins before our parents, foster parents, and guardians arrive at school. Oh yeah.
