North Ottawa Wellness Foundation
The North Ottawa Wellness Foundation began as a coalition of community leaders, convened in January 2017 by North Ottawa Community Health System. Its purpose was to bring awareness of the disconnect between our physical and emotional health, and further educate leaders about the debilitating consequences of this disconnect to long term health and wellbeing.
The North Ottawa Wellness Foundation created books, social media posts, handouts and more around four topic areas of wellness. All the collaborative members could use them to deliver more content to their constituents without doing all the work themselves.
The NOWF conducted a survey of constituent members on the topic of Real Food & Nutrition to better understand the barriers that stood between them and better nutrition. The information gathered from the survey was used to create a series of educational resources that collaborative members could use. They requested full-size flyers, half-sheet “information bites,” and social media posts. These handouts are intended for use in classes or workshops, as part of their e-marketing campaigns, as part of social media campaigns, and much more. The message stays consistent and simple, and all the members can leverage the work.
