HUMS A190: Peer Support Practices - Whole Health Action Management (WHAM)
CRN: 51311
WHAM is a peer support program designed to teach skills needed to achieve whole health by self-managing to have a healthy mind and body. It is helpful in navigating our internal resistance to begin health habits. It supports us to manage daily stress, when often our health and self-care take a back seat to responsibilities at work, caring for others and just about everything else.
