This Fall why not join Ohio State University Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Educators as we take a virtual road trip around Ohio? Explore wellness topics through weekly email messages and optional Wellness Wednesday Webinars (over Zoom). Topics include: the health benefits of travel, the perks of eating and shopping local, how reading can benefit you, and why we should all get outside and enjoy nature a little more. Each week the OSU Team will encourage you to get out and enjoy some of the wonders that we have in our home state – either by actually visiting or taking virtual tours of sites.

The email challenge connects participants with tips, research, and resources to help blend nature, health, finances, mental wellness, local foods, and more. Go to go.osu.edu/lhlwguernsey and answer a few short questions to get registered by October 15. During the week of October 14 all registered participants will receive a pre-challenge message. Participants will then receive one email per week from October 21 to December 2. Participants will have access to optional resources available including the Ohio State University Extension Live Healthy Live Well Blog, a free 5-week Wednesday wellness webinar series, and a tracking bingo card. Pre-and post-challenge online surveys will be used to track participant progress and comments.

Join our award-winning group as we offer another chance to connect with adults who are interested in wellness via email. “Exploring the Heart of It All” will challenge you to explore a variety of ways you can journey around Ohio to find a healthier you. This program is offered free and is sponsored by Ohio State University Extension.
