KC-201Q Navigating Health and Wellness Scams † *

The purpose of this course is to promote a wellness mindset (physical, mental, and spiritual).  Through participation in classroom experiential activities and independent learning, students will acquire knowledge and skills that support the practice of wellness in daily life.  Students will be guided through self-assessment and reflection, to identify areas in their life where the practice of wellness will be most beneficial.  Finally, students will develop a personal plan for continued practice of wellness in the future.  Students may take up to three different Wellness topics for credit.

This course will work to help students create a logical and scientific way to approach their health and evaluate health and wellness claims. A wide variety of examples of health and wellness products, influencers and advertising will be examined to help develop logic and critical thinking skills. Students will examine their beliefs and practices and use what they have learned in this course to help make educated wellness decisions moving forward.
