UWWC STATEMENT:
United Way of Washtenaw County CONNECTS people, resources, and organizations TOGETHER to create a thriving community for EVERYONE. United Way’s values are rooted in equity, pursuing greater access to opportunities and resources for all, including self care.
As we shift away from the buzz word term “self-care”, we move beyond “treating ourselves” and indulging, and move to a greater goal of investing in ourselves and our communities. Self care is related to the holistic approach of wellness, incorporating the emotional, spiritual, social, mental, and physical selves. When considering how this work aligns with UWWC and our commitment to fulfilling its mission, vision, and values we think about the strong relationships with our Community Impact partners whose work provides resources and outlets to grow our community by attending to the integrated and interdisciplinary world of self-care.
