Wellness Programs

Extension Organizational Development (EOD) is proud to partner with and support NC State's Wolfpack Wellness program by serving as Wellness Champions and by providing wellness programs and services for Extension employees.

Our goal is to ‘Build a Thriving Pack’ by assisting Extension employees in achieving healthy lifestyle goals by providing programs and services that address the six elements of wellness.

NC State Definition of Wellness

Wellness is the connected and interactive combination of six elements that foster a balanced, holistic life. This is achieved by having:
  • love for what is done each day
  • the security of finances
  • the vibrancy of physical health
  • self-awareness and emotional resiliency
  • quality relationships, and
  • pride in what is contributed to our communities.
