Community Wellness

Guided by our commitment to whole-child education, Latin will develop a comprehensive plan to address wellness and to empower students and employees with the tools and resources they need to thrive.  

Rationale

Latin has always demonstrated a solid commitment to fostering a positive working and learning environment for its students and employees. The school has consistently dedicated personnel and curricular resources to address physical, mental, and emotional health needs. Over time, as our awareness of community health and wellness concerns have increased, we recognize that a comprehensive response is needed to ensure all Latin community members are empowered to achieve their goals, and lead balanced, productive lives. 

Strategic Initiatives

3.1 Defining Wellness - Latin will develop a common language that defines wellness, both individually and institutionally, and create intentional plans to prevent and appropriately respond to issues concerning mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

3.2 Responding to Community Wellness Needs -  Latin will partner with reputable, research-driven organizations to consistently assess the well-being of our students and employees. Using these findings, Latin will track key wellness metrics, and respond with appropriate personnel, programmatic and curricular interventions to address identified growth opportunities. 

3.3 Latin will create a Community Wellness Team, composed of various stakeholders including students, to develop an initial plan, and implement and evaluate strategic priorities in support of community wellness goals.
