Taking good care of our physical and mental health has perhaps never been more important, and as we all adjust to the evolving changes in our lifestyles, it can be hard to know where to turn to find support. Fortunately, UW Parent and Family Programs recently posted a request on their social media channels for ideas for wellness resources, and its readers did not disappoint!
Thanks to those who contributed these helpful assets, we were able to compile them to help you and your loved ones see out the summer- and beyond – in good health.

I found a book entitled by Hilary Hinzmann and Vijay Vad that has been so helpful with my lower back pain. It’s a simple daily routine of stretches designed to relieve and prevent lower back pain.
