What age groups is this for?  

Our units focus on elementary school, middle school, upper school, and college-aged students, but any unit can be tailored to fit specific age group or developmental stage. We plan the curriculum for each unit with different age ranges in mind. 

Is it for use in groups or by individuals?  

Wellness My Way is flexible in that it can be used in groups led by teachers or facilitators AND it can be used by individuals for a solo experience.  

How do I access Wellness My Way?  

Wellness My Way is accessed after discussing your needs with one of our Health and Wellness Specialists. You can inquire about Wellness My Way here. Once you are registered, you will receive unique links to the programs of your choosing, as well as direct contact information for one of our Health and Wellness Specialists who will serve as your liaison to make sure you have all that you need to be successful.  

Does registration expire?

Yes, your registration expires. The expiration date depends on how long you decide to sign up for. You can choose the length of your registration with the minimum being one month. From there, you can continue to register on a month-to-month basis, skip months, or opt to sign up in advance for a term that meets your needs. Additionally, your registration can be added on to in-person programming from Prevention and Wellness Education.

What topics are covered?  

There are many units available within Wellness My Way, including, but not limited to, Substance Use and Addiction, Be Well, Internet Safety for Teens, Ezra's Invisible Backpack, Healthy Relationships, Consent, and more. If users have a topic request, we are happy to help! Our Wellness My Way catalog is constantly growing to address the issues confronting young people today!  

Can I request a topic or ask to have a unit customized?  

Yes! If you have registered for at least one-month, you can request a specific topic or ask us to customize a unit. Special requests may require an additional fee.  
 

Do you need special training or technical skills to use the platform?  

There is no special training or technical skills needed. If you can use a computer, you can use Wellness My Way. However, if you have questions or need help with anything, as part of your registration, you will have 1:1 support from one of our Health and Wellness Specialists. 
 

What if I need help or support to run a program?  

If you would like to bring a Health and Wellness Specialist to lead the program for your group, you can add an a la carte option to your registration.  

Can I still have a JCS Health and Wellness Specialist facilitate live programs?  

Absolutely! Wellness My Way is not replacing in-person programming. Think of Wellness My Way more as an additional option for offering our Prevention & Wellness programming to your youth. It can be incorporated into our live programming, used as an adjunct to live programming, or given as an independent assignment. 

Is there a cost to use Wellness My Way?  

We would be happy to talk with you about our pricing and work with you to develop a plan that fits your organization’s needs. Please email us at wellnessmyway@jcsbaltimore.org.

* Program examples include Ezra's Invisible Backpack, Consent and Healthy Relationships, Internet Safety for Teens, and Trauma Support for Teens. Substitutions for pre-selected programs are possible. 

Can I experience Wellness My Way before deciding?  

Yes! We invite you to try the Wellness My Way demo here. After you try it out, we would love to talk with you about making Wellness My Way available to the young people you serve!
