Whole Health for You and Me
This half-day health and well-being course focuses on applying Whole Health in your own life and is for all employees.
About the Course
Whole Health 102 is a 4-hour experience designed to guide participants in exploring Whole Health and considering how it can be used to improve one’s own health and well-being. The goal of this program is to help each participant identify their mission, aspiration, and purpose, and understand how they can make changes in their lives to help them work towards achieving their personal goals.

At the conclusion of this program, each participant will have the opportunity to identify areas of growth and develop a plan to strive towards their goals.

Whole Health 102F:
Whole Health for You and Me
This half-day health and well-being course emphasizes implementation and is for employees at Flagship sites.
About the Course
Whole Health 102F is an introductory 4-hour experience for all Flagship staff, both clinical and non-clinical, to explore what Whole Health is and how it can support our health care efforts. Specifically, it reviews what it means to be a Whole Health Flagship facility, and invites staff to use Whole Health in considering their own health and well-being. Every individual who works in a VA facility, whether in a direct clinical care role or not, may be considered an important part of the VA health care team. As your facility works to stand up a Whole Health System and transform your healthcare experience for Veterans, pausing to help busy VA employees like you consider your own health and well-being is essential.
Objectives:
- Consider what health is and how health is created
- Explore the vital role of self-care in health and well-being
- Appreciate the impact of pausing to reflect on what really matters in one’s life
- Strengthen skills for supporting the creation of health and well-being
- Appreciate the potential of mindful awareness in supporting health and well-being
- Review the transformation in health care delivery happening at Whole Health Flagships in VHA
