Partners – The Wellness Movement
“Wellness goes beyond the individual choices we make. It happens when the people and places around us, support us. When we work together to make healthy choices more available, accessible and desirable, they become, with time, the natural choice, every time.”
What is The Wellness Movement?
The Wellness Movement is an ongoing effort in New Brunswick to inspire and support the creation of wellness-supporting environments that benefit all New Brunswickers.
The Wellness Movement supports, connects, and celebrates all New Brunswickers – individuals, families, community groups, schools and workplaces – working on enhancing one or more aspect of wellness, such as tobacco and smoke-free living.
The Wellness Movement website profiles community stories and directs stakeholders and New Brunswickers to tools and resources to help them, their family, community groups, schools and workplaces take the next step on their path to wellness.
