A Spotlight on Wellness at Rimrock Trails!
Hello, Rimrock Trails community! Allow me to introduce myself—I'm Emily Price, a dedicated Treatment Aide for the Rimrock Trails Adolescent Residential Treatment Program. In addition to my role as a Treatment Aide, I have the privilege of serving as a leader on our Wellness Committee team.
Wellness holds a special place in my heart, especially within the workplace setting. As a part of the wellness committee, our mission is to cultivate and nurture the belief that wellness starts from within, fostering a positive atmosphere throughout the day. Our initial and most impactful initiative came with the exciting news that Rimrock Trails would be offering us Wellness Days. Every quarter, we're granted a Wellness Day, amounting to four additional paid days off!
In addition, one of our key accomplishments was the introduction of "shout-out" forms, which we proudly display on a door in the staff station. We also encourage staff to fill out and deliver "Praise Notes" to our clients as a gesture of appreciation.
Additionally, we've introduced a monthly Employee of the Month recognition program, where the selected individual receives a certificate and chooses a wellness-themed basket filled with self-care items. Finally, our "Wellness Wall," adorned with a different theme each month, serves as a vibrant and interactive space for staff to engage with wellness-related content.
You'll often find me at our weekly all-staff meetings, welcoming colleagues with a smile and facilitating our "Wellness Wednesday" self-check-ins and team-building activities. These activities typically include coloring sessions to promote focus, concentration, and stress reduction. Completed activities are proudly displayed around the residential building, brightening up the atmosphere for all.
To further foster a sense of well-being and connectedness, we host themed potlucks every month and celebrate birthdays on the last Wednesday of each month. We also collaborate closely with the Holiday Committee to spread positivity and ensure that our workplace remains a healthy and enjoyable environment.
It's truly an honor to be part of a team that prioritizes creating a feel-good environment, and I'm grateful for the organization's dedication to collaboration, listening, and follow-through in making Rimrock Trails a healthy and enjoyable place to work.
Here's to continued wellness and positivity for all!
