Wellness Program
The center’s wellness program promotes the holistic well-being of families through an ecologically-based approach. Following the Strengths and Stressors Assessment (Berry, 2008), the Edna W. Runner Education Center follows Ms. Edna’s lifelong dedication to building a stronger community.
Our program components address key areas such as environment, parental capabilities, social support, family interactions, family safety, and child well-being. By offering workshops, resources, and community-building activities, the program fosters parental empowerment, strengthens family bonds, and enhances social support networks. It also ensures a safe, nurturing environment for children while supporting families in overcoming stressors. Ultimately, the program seeks to strengthen resilience and promote positive outcomes for both children and their families.
