Making a helthy TWU

TWU, like most schools is a place that can have great potential to educate people on many different issues but the most beneficial can be health. Personal health is important to every type of person, in any type of situation and if it is not, it definitely should be. College campuses should take a more active role in the promotion of disease prevention of their students. There are a few relatively simple ideas for TWU to do that. A wellness symposium would be extremely helpful in advertising all the services that TWU has to offer and local offices or companies could attend to provide information and provide free services. Symposiums, forums, and seminars are a very successful in educating. Education is one of the most important aspects in disease prevention. A lot of people don't know about what can be done to keep themselves healthy, the consequences of unhealthy lifestyles and even what services are offered nearby. This is exactly would this type of thing could accomplish. Other that, advertising could be extremely effective. Possibly making a weekly newsletter that could be distributed with the school newspaper providing suggestions on nutrition, exercise, family life, stopping unhealthy habits, etc. No one is responsible for a students help more than the students themselves and I believe these ideas will promote the importance of patient education and accountability.
