What do we mean by "Whole Wellness" Program?

Greenways Academy believes that you need to meet all of the needs of the students in order to nurture the "whole" person. John Dewey, the educator philosopher, said “As a child lives today, he will live tomorrow.” 

This makes it vital to ensure that a well-rounded education helps to change the "today" of our students so that their "tomorrow" is as successful as it can be. 

So, with that as a basis for our programs, we provide a wide base of services and programs to help each and every student and their family to develop the skills and find the resources they need to provide the best "tomorrow" possible.

We use the Whole Wellness Needs Pyramid Model from Fifth Corner Academy as a basis for most of our programs and supports.

Stress, Anxiety and Depression

Everyone experiences stress and anxiety at times. Most of the time we deal with it fairly effectively on our own. We have resources are designed to help you find the support you need when things are not as they should be.

Family or Peer Support

Family and friend relationships can be tricky. It is hard not to take things personally. But more often than not, conversations with a trained professional can help to resolve issues and restore relationships. We have resources to help repair relationships and develop new patterns for communication and interaction that will make things better and provide a foundation for new growth. 

We have partnered with Fifth Corner Academy for many of our Whole Wellness Programs & Services.

Suicide Prevention

Suicide is a real and pressing issue in our world today. Everyone gets sad sometimes. But if you (or someone you love) is severely depressed, you know it's more than just feeling sad. Sometimes people get to the point of not wanting to live. Sadly, people may consider turning to suicide when they feel they have no other options. If you or someone you know is at this point, it's time to get some outside help. As you do, we want to remind you that things really do get better, even though, sometimes, it seems impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you have contemplated suicide, or even survived an attempt, don't be ashamed. You are not weak — you are strong. And you will get through this. But sometimes getting a little help from someone that is not yourself is exactly the thing you need to keep on going, even when you don't feel the drive to live anymore. We can help.

Social-Emotional Learning

Greenways Academy has a "House" program that brings students into a collaborative support system of peers and adults. There is an embedded social-emotional learning aspect that helps students develop a sense of self, a connection to peers, a positive relationship with society and a plan for times when things are not always going the way they thought they should. Associated with the Alsea Online Program and Fifth Corner Academy, all Greenways Academy participants are eligible for much of the support available.
