Just in time for the fall, registration opened Tuesday for a number of MHealthy health and well-being programs.

As extra motivation, participation in one or more qualifying programs between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31 also will earn an entry in the MHealthy Grand Prize Drawing. Six winners will receive $500 to use toward supporting their healthy behaviors.

“Fall can be a busy time, which makes staying on a healthy track challenging,” says Janice Gasaway, program lead for MHealthy. “Jumpstart your motivation by trying a new exercise class, learning a new recipe at a chef demo, or discovering a new approach to managing stress. Not only will you feel better but you could also be one of our big drawing winners.”

Benefits-eligible faculty and staff and their spouses or other qualified adults who are enrolled in a U-M health plan are eligible for the MHealthy Grand Prize Drawing. Participants can earn a drawing entry for each healthy activity.

Qualifying MHealthy (and partner) programs include:

• Active U Autumn 2015

• Alcohol management programs

• Chef demonstrations

• Dearborn Wellness Center exercise classes

• Learn to Live Tobacco Free: A Quit Tobacco Program

• MHealthy exercise and relaxation classes

• MHealthy nutrition consults

• MHealthy personalized exercise sessions

• MHealthy Stress management classes

• Weight Watchers (Traditional and At Work programs)

The Grand Prize Drawing takes place Nov. 10. Participants must enter the drawing by Nov. 2 on the StayWell Portal (accessible from the MHealthy site). Winners will be notified via email or phone.
