Welcome to the WellAware Employee Wellness Program!
WellAware is a fun, interactive, and easy way to earn up to $250 to purchase wellness and other products, connect with co-workers, family and friends, and get healthier. It’s FREE to all benefited employees. You're probably already doing some of the activities, so you might as well get rewarded! And don’t worry – no one in the school system ever sees your personal health information.

Resources
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION BEFORE GOING TO THE RESOURCES.
While WellAware and CareFirst sometimes partner on activities for staff, they are two different programs which require creating separate accounts to access content.
WellAware is WCPS' employee wellness program that uses Virgin Pulse as its online platform.
Please see the Videos and Printable Instructions sections of this page.
CareFirst is WCPS' employee insurance program that uses WellBeing as its online platform.
Please see the WellBeing documents in this section of this page (visible after clicking "more").
Please note that Noom will ask a lot of the same health information as the CareFirst RealAge health assessment. If you do not want to complete the health assessment, you may hit "Pause" in the top right corner and move directly to Noom or other content. You may complete the health assessment later, if you wish.
This section is provided under WellAware as a courtesy and is not a replacement for the actual CareFirst website and does not include all available resources.
CareFirst programs/services are available FREE to WCPS employees covered by CareFirst insurance.
