Wellness Committee

What is the Wellness Committee all about?

The mission of this committee is to promote holistic wellness for NARACES members and others. The committee conducts wellness workshops throughout the year that address various issues, including racial and social justice for faculty of color and wellness planning for counselor educators. Responsibilities of committee members include attending and reporting at the NARACES board meetings, conducting regular wellness committee meetings to plan for activities and creating regular Wellness Corner columns in the NARACES newsletter. The committee also plans wellness events to take place at NARACES and ACES in-person meetings.

We are also looking for new members all the time!
