Education & Prevention Day brought together staff from across The Guidance Center Education and Prevention Program for a day focused on learning, wellness, and connection at the Elk Center in Benezette, PA on August 13.

The event began with opportunities for self-care, networking, and team building, creating a welcoming environment for staff to recharge and connect with colleagues from different programs. Throughout the day, attendees participated in wellness activities, outdoor games, and engaging discussions centered on personal and professional growth.

A highlight of the day was a series of informative presentations from Denise Bean, Heidi Collins, and Claudette Johnson. Denise Bean shared valuable insights on prevention and wellness, while Heidi Collins and Claudette Johnson provided practical nutrition education, including affordable healthy food alternatives, creative ways to add nutrients to everyday meals, and a hands-on protein yogurt parfait-making activity.

Education and Prevention Day served as a reminder of the importance of investing in our health, supporting one another, and continuing to learn and grow together. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day a meaningful and memorable experience.
