Welcome to the Whitley County Health and Human Sciences Page!

The Health and Human Sciences (HHS) program provides education to help individuals in Whitley County improve their dimensions of wellness. Our HHS educator brings research-based information to meet the needs in the community. Both in-person and online programs are offered to help the community strengthen their relationships, eat smart, improve their health, and achieve financial wellness.

The four pillars of Health and Human Sciences focus on food, family, money/financial well-being, and health.

HHS Educator Brittney Schori has taken initiative to start a community needs task force in Whitley County. This task force is called CHAMPS (Community Health Advisory Members Providing Solutions). Anyone in the community can attend meetings and become a member.

• The mission of CHAMPS is to improve the quality of life for community residents by supporting agency collaboration.
• Our vision is to create opportunities for all residents to thrive by providing awareness of and access to quality programs and resources.

Those on CHAMPS have been working with Brittney to identify needs within the community and provide snippets of education. Below you will find educational FACTSHEETS. For more information about CHAMPS, contact Brittney.
