Describe another successful activity that your team planned around the nine dimensions of wellness.
This summer, we transformed an old closet/storage room into our Wellness Room where people can go and relax, color, exercise and meditate.
If your team has kept track of participation rates for your activities, what is your approximate average attendance?
We had a total of 150 people attend the H2O Happy Hour.
How does your team communicate wellness events and resources to your colleagues?
We primarily use email, word of mouth, fliers and meetings to disseminate communication to our department.
Describe how a manager or supervisor in your unit/department/building/college has shown support for your Buckeye Wellness Innovator team.
Several managers have allowed guided meditation and the use of programs like Headspace headspace during team meetings.

Both of our department leaders fully support the use of our wellness room.
Please share how your team has overcome barriers to engaging your colleagues and/or students in your wellness efforts.
Our biggest barrier was separating ourselves from the Culture Team in OCIO/ODEE. We went from being a subcommittee of the Culture Team to actually being our own group.
If you could accomplish anything as a Buckeye Wellness Innovator team, what would your dream be?
Our goal is to have over 100 people in the Wellness Group! Additionally, we would love to have standing desks for everyone and no barriers for "preventative" health resources!!!
