Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We are a holistic health and fitness company currently in the process of updating our programs and services. We would like to collaborate with students to help develop program content that is evidence-based, engaging, easy to implement, and inclusive.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Researching principles of trauma-informed care, especially as they relate to nutrition and fitness.
  • Developing wellness program content that incorporates evidence-based principles of nutrition, fitness, psychology, etc. Content will need to be engaging, easy for clients to implement and adhere to, and inclusive.
  • Providing metrics to justify the implementation of the program.
  • Revising and improving the proposed program based on feedback.
What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of how trauma/ACEs affect relationships with food, fitness, sleep, stress, and self-esteem.
  • Understanding of how inclusivity, cultural competence, and a client-centered focus intersect with evidence-based medicine to provide optimal client care.
  • Development of a health and wellness program for our company.
  • Recommendations and justification for the program’s implementation.

Bonus steps would include:

  • Revising the program based on feedback
  • Creating social media content (blog articles, posts, videos) to complement the program created

Final deliverables should include

  • A fully developed wellness program.
  • A 10-minute presentation.
How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • Our current programs and services
  • Vision and direction of program being developed
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

In order to complete this project, students can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:

  • Principles of nutrition, fitness, mental health, and wellness
  • Health and wellness programs
  • Trauma-informed care

Again, students can complete this project without any of the prior knowledge listed here. Students will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project goes along.
