Urban Wellness Programs
Our Urban Wellness programs are designed to support mothers, college students, and individuals looking to improve their nutrition and overall health. Through engaging workshops, informative resources, and personalized guidance, we empower participants to make healthier choices that benefit themselves and their families.
Whether you are seeking parenting tips, stress management strategies, or nutrition education, our Urban Wellness programs provide the tools and support you need to lead a healthier, happier life.
Mother Baby Wellness
Get ready for an uplifting experience! In July 2024, the ULHR Health team, alongside Zina Brockman of the MotherBaby Wellness Center and Bon Secours Community Health Hub, hosted our first-ever Mother-Baby Wellness Community Baby Shower. This unforgettable day was all about empowering pre- and post-natal moms, offering a holistic, self-care retreat focused on their unique needs—and it was a huge success! Expect a day filled with valuable information, relaxation, and fun for moms and their support systems. Plus, we have sessions just for men, and childcare will be provided so your little ones can enjoy the day too.
Don’t miss out on this special celebration of motherhood and family wellness!

Join us for Urban Wellness: Mindful Nutrition, a 4-week class series focused on the connection between mental health and food wellness.
