Our Mission.
At Temple Lifestyle, we believe true health and wellness encompass spirit, mind, and body. Our mission is to provide accessible and culturally relevant services to historically marginalized individuals and communities in their pursuit of optimal health.
TEMPLE stands for Tools, Encouragement, and Mentoring for Preventative Lifestyle Empowerment:
Teaching: Education is key. We teach holistic wellness and preventative choices for optimal health.
Encouragement: Positive lifestyle changes can be tough. We offer support and motivation.
Mentoring: Mentorship helps individuals reach their full potential. We connect them with mentors for guidance and support.
Preventative: We prioritize lifestyle choices that prevent illness and promote wellness, aiming to reduce healthcare costs and improve quality of life.
Lifestyle: Health is influenced by our environment. We promote access to nutritious food and safe spaces for physical activity.
Empowerment: Everyone deserves the chance for optimal health. We empower individuals to take charge of their well-being.
Our goal is to provide education and resources, addressing underlying social and economic factors impacting health outcomes. We envision a world where everyone has access to the resources needed for their best health, regardless of socio-economic status, race, or ethnicity.
Through community outreach, education, and local partnerships, we aim to promote health for the whole person—spirit, mind, and body. We strive to make health and wellness a fundamental human right, ensuring all individuals can thrive.
By breaking down barriers such as limited healthcare access, inadequate health education, and social inequalities, we work towards health equity and reduced disparities. This requires a collaborative approach addressing both individual and systemic factors, providing education, improving access to services, and advocating for policy changes promoting equity and justice.
