What is Wellness Week with Herren?
Be You. Live Well.
Wellness Week With Herren is a nationwide event happening every year during the first full week of March. Chris Herren and the entire Herren Organization come together, with schools and communities across the country, to celebrate and participate in healthy activities to help prevent the misuse of substances, empower those affected by the disease of addiction and encourage overall well-being.
Get involved with your school, family, friends, community or workplace! Don’t forget to wear your purple to show your “BE YOU, LIVE WELL” spirit!
Thank you for an amazing Wellness Week With Herren 2023!
Mark your calendars for Wellness Week With Herren March 4-9, 2024!
Why Wellness?
Prevention. Wellness. Recovery.
Oftentimes, when we’re met with stress, we resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms – like drugs and alcohol. Wellness Week with Herren is all about practicing healthy ways of handling life’s challenges with the goal of the prevention and recovery of substance use disorder.
Wellness assists us in establishing boundaries, creating healthy habits and loving who we are. Practicing wellness allows us to take our own journey to create healthy, happy, fulfilling lives. This framework helps prevent the misuse of substances and helps those in recovery feel more grounded in their sobriety.
Overall physical, mental and social wellbeing help us live the amazing lives we deserve, free from the negative effects of substances. Wellness gives us tools to meet life’s challenges and joys substance-free and strengthen our “sense of self.”
Practice wellness, connect with your best self, and BE YOU, LIVE WELL!
We encourage you to show your spirit by wearing purple and join the Herren Organizations by participating in one or more wellness activities or events during the week.

Our First Annual Wellness Week with Herren
Coming Together to Live Well and Be You
Together, with thousands across the country, we celebrated wellness and recovery and the power of being you from March 2 - March 7, 2020.
We incorporated wellness in our daily lives through educational blogs and healthy activities like the Herren Fitness Challenge. We partnered with organizations like The Family Dinner Project to start the conversation around wellness. We celebrated recovery with our alumni and other across the country through Recovery Rocks.
It was a full week of positive events and activities to prevent the misuse of substances, empower those affected by the disease of addiction and encourage overall wellbeing.
We invite you to celebrate Wellness Week With Herren with us Monday, March 4th - Saturday, March 9th, 2024.
