About the Wellness Champion Gathering

Our Wellness Champion Gathering (WCG) is an annual event that is now open to the general public!  The event used to be an invite-only gathering for all our wellness champions, wellness team members, teachers, principals, and other school staff within the Project Healthy Schools community.  The event is always free, SCECHs are offered to those who attend (available ONLY to Michigan residents), and the event includes special guest presenters.  This event is a great way for wellness champions and wellness team members at schools to network with each other and share resources. If you have questions about the Project Healthy Schools Wellness Champion Gathering, please reach out to your PHS wellness coordinator or visit our contact page.

Interested in Presenting?

We’re always interested in finding new presenters for our wellness champion gatherings.  Every year, we aim to include a panel of all new presenters since every WCG we discuss new and trending topics for schools.  If you are interested in presenting at our event or have a topic of discussion you’d like us to include in our event, please reach out to us at projecthealthyschools@umich.edu.

Past Recordings

We try to record our wellness champion gatherings so that anyone who was not able to attend the event live, since it usually takes place during the school day, can watch the presentations at a later date.  Check out some of our recordings below.  You can always find these recordings on our YouTube page.
