Making Healthy Choices

Six-Session DVD Course

Making Healthy Choices is a complete wellness course. It is a common-sense approach to wellness that includes a wide variety of information about healthy living options. The sessions can be used separately or as a series to help your participants adopt positive and lasting changes for living well.

Making Healthy Choices offers more than information—it challenges participants personally. There are worksheet masters for each session. The Stop and Reflect portions of the worksheets invite consideration of important issues and choices as answers to the questions are pondered. Participants learn to apply the information from the DVD to their situation.

Assessing the level of wellness and deciding how to change for the better is an intensely personal matter. After watching Making Health Choices, participants will find that many others feel as they do. They will find many beautiful opportunities to share their thoughts and hopes as they work together to identify problems—and solutions, too!

Making Healthy Choices can be used with a group or individually. Keep a copy in your library for those looking for help between group sessions.
