WELLNESS WEEK WITH HERREN
Join Chris Herren and his organizations for a NEW nationwide school and community initiative to be held annually the first full week of March. Our goal is to prevent the misuse of substances and to empower those affected by the disease of addiction while promoting personal wellness, healthy choices and the power of being you!
Oftentimes, when we’re met with stress, we resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms – like drugs and alcohol. Wellness Week with Herren is all about practicing healthy ways of handling life’s challenges. Through Wellness Week with Herren we hope to offer tools and resources to encourage self-care and a focus on our well-being. When we practice wellness and connect to our best selves, we’re able to empower and inspire others to do the same.
