Center of Wellness for Urban Women, Inc
CWUW believes that music and art are vital part of healing
Center of Wellness for Urban Women, Inc (CWUW), founded in 2007, empowers women and their families to become proactive in their health by improving their mind, body, and spirit through education, advocacy, care, and prevention.
Utilizing the 7 Dimensions of Wellness, CWUW recognizes the mind, body, and spirit connection leads to total health and well-being.
What We Do
CWUW helps women and their families move towards a healthy lifestyle through healthy living. We believe in empowering women to learn to maintain the 7 dimensions of Wellness (physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, social, and intellectual wellness) through various interventions and programs including both traditional and alternative therapies, nutrition counseling, walking programs and more.
Central to our programming is connecting women with already existing programs and services in the community and helping them to be accountable and responsible for their health decisions. CWUW also provides an intensive workshop on the 7 Dimensions of Wellness to help women to understand the connection to total health.
CWUW has modeled its programming from the National Community Centers of Excellence in Women's Health model.
