Holistic Wellness Program
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease." ~ World Health Organization
FTJ has an exciting and innovative opportunity to bring awareness to holistic wellbeing! Holistic Wellness addresses our body as a whole. This approach is key to longevity and maintaining independence as we age. Our unique program focuses on mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental, vocational and social/cultural wellbeing.
Programs offered through Holistic Wellness are provided by contractors, specialist, organizations and people from the Tacoma Community as well as wellness community members and residents who have a skill, talent, knowledge or expertise they want to share. These passionate people are invited to share their knowledge on a wide array of holistic health and wellness topics.
Participation is limited to FTJ residents and Wellness members. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Sarah Doerner at 253-756-3241 or at sdoerner@franketobeyjones.com. For the monthly class calendar go to https://www.franketobeyjones.com/community/events/program-calendars/.
