“Exploring the Heart of It All” Email Challenge
Ohio-themed wellness program October 21-December 2
Take a virtual road trip around Ohio with the Ohio State University Extension Family and Consumer Sciences educators as they explore wellness topics through:
- Weekly email messages
- Optional Wellness Wednesday Webinars (over Zoom)
Topics include:
- The health benefits of travel
- The perks of eating and shopping local
- How reading can benefit you
- Why we should all get outside and enjoy nature a little more
Each week the OSU team will encourage you to get out and enjoy some of the wonders that we have in our home state – either by actually visiting or taking virtual tours of sites.
The email challenge connects participants with tips, research, and resources to help blend nature, health, finances, mental wellness, local foods, and more.
Go to https://go.osu.edu/lhlwhancock and answer a few short questions to get registered by October 15. During the week of October 14, all registered participants will receive a pre-challenge message. Participants will then receive one email per week from October 21 to December 2.
Participants will have access to optional resources available, including the Ohio State University Extension Live Healthy Live Well Blog, a free 5-week Wednesday wellness webinar series, and a tracking bingo card. Pre-and post-challenge online surveys will be used to track participant progress and comments.
This program is offered free and is sponsored by Ohio State University Extension.
