Building Brighter Futures

HEAL prepares students to enjoy a better quality of life and optimal workforce readiness through healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Five key HEAL facets woven through the HEAL curricula (Health, Education, Career Readiness, Financial Fitness, and Advocacy) set students up for success throughout all stages of life.

HEAL helps students discover their potential and become valuable assets in the workforce and community

Students will be equipped to shine like a diamond in the classroom, their careers, and their sphere of influence. Everyone is valuable, and valuable things deserve the best of care.

The HEAL Diamond

The metaphorical diamond concept is that every person is a diamond of great worth. Since valuable things deserve the best of care, we want to equip you to take good care of yourself and others within your sphere of influence. HEAL is here to help you discover your potential, reveal your inner shine, and make the world a better place. The 5 facets of the HEAL diamond directly impact health and are intrinsically linked.

The 5 facets that complete the HEAL Diamond:

HEALTH

Taking personal responsibility for your health will reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases as well as the need for expensive medical intervention. Medical intervention is a major source of bankruptcy in America due to expensive costs of treatment and the disruption of work productivity. These factors combined impact stress levels which exasperate mental, emotional, and physical distress. HEAL promotes basic health behaviors that support overall quality of life, longevity, energy, and focus. The HEAL lifestyle fuels academic performance, career readiness, and healthy social engagement.

EDUCATION

Education reinforces quality of life, good decision making, and career competitiveness. Gaining knowledge in all seasons of life inspires new skills and strengths that can advance career opportunities and provide enjoyable ways to express yourself.

CAREER READINESS

Actively seek to apply your education to support a career that provides financial stability. Research lucrative jobs of interest and prepare to be excellent. Excellence is rewarded financially and in many other ways. Gaining the skills that apply to a productive career increases self-worth and quality of life. Studies show people are happier when they are healthy and productive members of society.

FINANCIAL FITNESS

Smart money management reduces stress and supports mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Having financial stability allows families to maintain quality health insurance, permits the ability to absorb a financial shock, and grants freedom to make choices that help them live the life they envision.

ADVOCACY

Choosing to be a HEAL Hero supports the mental, emotional, social, and physical well-being of yourself and others. A HEAL Hero embraces the HEAL lifestyle and volunteers to help others live the HEAL way. Contributing to the greater good of society pays amazing rewards personally and communally.
