The Knowledge Network is full of resources that offer bountiful counsel on many situations related to management, but many people aren’t aware that the Knowledge Network is also full of lessons about issues that affect citizens in your community on a daily basis, such as wellness and health.  Ensure that the old and young in your community stay healthy by sharing the following resources with them:

• As we move into the annual flu season, there is a lot that can be learned from the Workforce Institute’s infographic “You Think You’re Sick?”
• Learn how to improve employee wellness in your community from the lessons learned by the City of Lakewood, CO.
• Learn all of the factors that you need to address to create a cost-effective worksite health clinic by reading “The Promising Potential of Worksite Health Clinics” from July’s PM Magazine.
• “Employee Health Connection” offers a brilliant outline for designing a wellness program for your community.
• Learn how to care for the most at-risk families in your community through the lessons of the Family N.E.T program.
• “North Lauderdale Teen Club” discusses a program that operates between the poles of keeping children active and teaching them about making right decisions for their community.

For more shareable resources that will keep your community healthy and lively, head over to the Health, Wellness and Children & Youth topic pages.  If you have any lessons or resources related to the promotion of health for all ages, feel free to share them with us in the comment section below this post.
