Live Well Charlie West

 

Alliance launches new wellness campaign

Do you want to make good on your New Year’s health resolutions?  Live Well Charlie West, a Charleston Area Alliance program, is a month-long campaign dedicated to starting the workplace wellness conversation and providing connectivity to wellness-related resources to employ at your worksite.  The program launched Sunday at the City of Charleston's Winter Series walk/run event in Kanawha City. Check out news stories from the launch HERE and HERE.  A healthy employee is vitally important to the workplace as a whole and has a significant impact on an employer’s bottom line.  Workplace wellness is a proven strategy to improve worker productivity and reduce costs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that for every $1 spent on workplace wellness, a company saves $3 to $6.  If you’re an employee or employer, there are many ways to get involved with the campaign.  Click HERE for more information, including a calendar of events (subject to small changes).  Check out what's on tap this week for Live Well Charlie West: This Wednesday, the first SUCCESStrategies lunch and learn titled "The Cost of Mental Health," will be held from 11:45 a.m.-1:15 p.m. at the Alliance. The event will feature local experts discussing ways to connect regional resources to colleagues and employees in promoting mental wellness. The cost to attend is $5. To register to attend, click HERE. Show your fellow Charlestonians what you're having for a healthy lunch. Snap a picture, post it on Facebook and Twitter and tag it with #cwveats. Learn the proper way to dispose of unused medicines by following the Facebook and Twitter pages of "Kanawha Valley Communities that Care." Take a second to talk about a moment or person that has changed your life for the better. Share your thoughts and be a part of the Live Well Charlie West #iamgratefulwv project. Your thoughts will become part of a collaborative mural the Charleston Area Alliance is creating online. See the mural and find out more at iamgratefulwv.tumblr.com.
