Cheshire Wellness Friday

In collaboration with the Cheshire Transitional Program on the North Haven campus, Cheshire Wellness Fridays is a monthly event where we will be teaching modules to students with varying disabilities, focusing on topics in mindfulness, fitness, hygiene, and health. The students in the Cheshire Transitional Program are ages 18-21 and have varied levels of physical or intellectual disabilities. Students in this program work with campus staff to learn vocational skills to help them gain experience so they can transition into the workforce at the close of their program. We aim to supplement their curriculum with self-care and health-focused content, and hope to encourage these students to practice their skills in self-advocacy and independence.
