Knowledge of Wellness
The Pete Foundation is proud to introduce the Knowledge of Wellness Program
Now more than ever, communities and organizations have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to play an active role in strengthening mental well-being. By increasing understanding and offering practical tools, we can better support the family members,
friends, and colleagues who may be living with mental illness.
Knowledge of Wellness (KnoW) is designed as a workplace program to turn awareness into action. It promotes mental health understanding, acceptance, and proactive care by empowering individuals to participate in meaningful, achievable ways. Through KnoW, we expand our shared knowledge and actively cultivate a culture of wellness and support for everyone.
Any organization—any community group—and any individual—can participate. There is no cost to become a Knowledge of Wellness participant.
