New Resiliency Resource from Wespath Benefit Plans Department

Resiliency is important, because unfortunately, life isn’t always easy.  How we handle situations when they are not going as planned is important. The Resiliency Toolkit gives strategies for building resiliency based on the 5 dimensions of well-being. Everyone goes through challenging times. But additionally, everyone can strengthen their ability to recover and adjust to misfortune or change.

Want to Maximize Your Wellness Benefits?

The time and distance you spend taking a walk can be counted on TWO different wellness programs to DOUBLE your rewards!  Qualified participants can enroll in the Amazing Pace Walking program AND count the same steps and the time spent walking on the WIN program!
