Youth Wellness/Self-Esteem: Create a “culture of happiness” on your campus through our partnership with the Youth Wellness Network

Nuance Leadership is proud to partner with the Youth Wellness Network (YWN) to offer a variety of programs that can reduce stress and increase happiness on your campus or in your school!

For colleges and universities, we can take the “exam stress buster” to a whole new level.

For high schools, we can help decrease bullying, foster self-esteem, and help you create a sustainable program that improves the lives of everyone in your school.

The Youth Wellness Network (YWN) is an organization dedicated to assisting youth with mitigating the negative effects of stress and anxiety.  The YWN empowers youth to break free from conditioned paradigms and belief systems that contribute to the creation of their most pressing issues, and inspires them to live a life with more happiness, optimism, passion, abundance and self-worth.

In addition to offering stand-alone workshops, the YWN offers two programs designed to increase happiness, reduce stress, and reduce the negative results of poor self-image and insecurity (such as bullying) at your school:

Wellness Leader Training

Wellness Leader Training is a peer-to-peer training model that provides a group of student leaders with practical strategies, principles, and tools in wellness, leadership and personal development.  Participants will learn how to decrease stress and anxiety, increase self-esteem and self-worth, increase happiness levels, increase clarity, increase productivity in the classroom, increase emotional awareness, and to live with more compassion and empathy.

The training is delivered in an interactive and experiential format made up of group lecture, group dialogue, and individual and small group break out exercises/practices.  The creation of these “Wellness Leaders” means this is a sustainable program that lasts many years beyond when the training has been completed. Wellness Leaders can spread what they have learned to the rest of your students, and run events, programs and initiatives to foster health and happiness around your entire school!

Wellness Week

Go beyond standard “stress breaks” and offer students at your school a fully integrated “Wellness Week”!   YWN can offer various wellness modalities and methods to both students and staff to reduce stress and anxiety, increase energy and productivity and increase retention of information when studying.

Different sessions we can provide include:

• Sound Healing

Praise for the Youth Wellness Network:

There is no more pressing issue in education than student physical, social and emotional wellness. We are indebted to Michael for helping us make wellness a year-long initiative and an important part of our whole school program and culture. Our Wellness Leader Training and Break Zone / Stress buster programs have helped many students become happier and more successful. Thanks so much - Joel Gorenkoff, Principal - North Toronto C.I.
