2020-21 PATH Programs: How to Earn PATHpoints

Every year, VEHI PATH offers new ways of using virtual tools to help you strengthen your well-being. This year, in addition to the "tried and true" programs, PATH has added three online courses for PATHpoints that you can do on your own time:

1. Rethinking Sugar (20 pts): In this three-week course you’ll learn the HOW-WHY-WHAT of sugar dependency, including what sugar does in the body that makes it so bad for us, and why we have so much trouble quitting.
2. Breaking Free From Sugar (30 pts): In this course you will spend one week prepping for a no sugar added challenge and the next three weeks eating nothing with added sugar or refined carbohydrates (prerequisite: Rethinking Sugar).
3. Mindful, Nonviolent Communication (50 pts): This eight week course is a progression of short, simple teachings and doable practices to help you embody peace, compassion and wisdom in your daily life.
