The program , which first launched in mid-May with a kickoff Wellness Day , is led by the Circuit ’ s Health and Wellness Committee , and offers monthly activities aimed at supporting and nurturing the health and wellness of the court staff and judicial officers .
Judge Samantha Schosberg Feuer , a member of the Circuit ’ s health and wellness committee and the Florida Bar Standing Committee for Health and Wellness said , “ It is critical that we support our employees in prioritizing and sustaining good mental and physical health . I am so proud that our Circuit took the first steps last year in organizing the initial event of its kind and has continued its efforts which I hope will be replicated soon statewide in all the circuits around the state .”
The Circuit is thankful to all that participated in this event . The committee will continue to offer zoom and in-person smaller events throughout the year and will plan its next Wellness Day in Spring 2024 .
