Wellness Center at Eureka City Schools (ECS)

College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences

We are developing and implementing a Wellness center in Eureka City Schools (ECS). The collaboration includes Two Feathers Native American Family Services, Open Door Community Health Center, Humboldt County Office of Education, Cal Poly Humboldt, various consultants, grant writers, and ECS students and employees. Student feedback identified the needs, health disparities, and gaps in wellness services and informed how to best support diverse student populations. We collected student feedback via a survey and feedback groups which were student-led and driven. The findings suggest the wellness center should be an inviting space, be a space to regulate, and offer clinical/non-clinical support.
