What is Wellness?
Wellness is a holistic approach to health that encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is the practice of making choices and taking actions that contribute to a fulfilling, balanced, and healthy life. Wellness is not just the absence of illness, but a proactive process of becoming aware of and making conscious choices toward a more successful existence.
In the journey of recovery, wellness plays a crucial role. Recovery is not solely about abstaining from harmful substances or behaviors; it’s about creating a life that feels worth living.
Here’s why wellness is essential for everyday life and recovery
At Southern Colorado Harm Reduction, we are dedicated to supporting your wellness journey through a range of services designed to address these dimensions:
AcuDetox: Our AcuDetox service offers ear acupuncture to help reduce cravings, alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and promote relaxation. This holistic therapy supports your physical and mental well-being, aiding in the recovery process.
LEAF (Life Empowerment and Achievement Foundation): Formerly known as Life Skills, LEAF provides practical life skills training to help you navigate daily challenges and achieve long-term success. Workshops on financial literacy, communication skills, and job readiness empower you to build a brighter future.
Yoga in Facility: We currently partner with Studio Share to offer 200 hr. Yoga Teacher Training program inside the Beacon at Skyline Correctional Facility. This certification process will help spread the transformative healing that yoga offers. Yoga teacher training is a great way to dive deep inward to learn about yourself and to learn to implement the lessons of yoga into daily life. The students will gain all the skills/ tools to facilitate yoga classes. At the end of the program, they are fully certified to teach yoga classes both in the facility as well as in studios when they are released.
