"When I started this program, I was as heavy as I had ever been. Covid and
Isolation had not done me any favors.The Wellness Program was skill building,
cheerleading, and information about myself. It was a slow reveal of my
truest concerns and issues revealed in a way that felt manageable. I began
to connect the dots of what I was actually experiencing and how that was
affecting me physically. I stopped feeling so alone." Learn more
