Hello all,

We, the Balance Health Educators, would like to put forth a statement in solidarity with our Black sibs. We encourage our members and the broader Wellesley community to donate money towards organizations that serve Black communities, to protest against police brutality, if you are able to, and to have continued conversations and education about race.

We have compiled a list of ways that you could do to support, which can be found here: https://linktr.ee/wcbhes

As a wellness org, we would also like to emphasize the importance of wellness as you fight against systemic racism. In the link above, you can also find resources related to the intersection of racial justice and wellness.
