Wellness Dimensions
Our comprehensive Wellness Programs address each of the six major components of overall wellness:
- Physical – This includes everything that promotes overall good health and helps prevent illnesses and injury. Components include cardiovascular fitness, strength training, and classes that promote good balance.
- Intellectual – Good intellectual health includes staying mentally active by taking lifelong learning classes, challenging your brain, and exercising regularly.
- Emotional – Emotional wellness refers to feelings, thoughts, and the ability to handle stress or difficult situations. Things that help maintain this type of wellness include communication with support groups, professionals, friends, and family.
- Social - This refers to the ability to interact and get along with others. Developing friendships and close relationships is important to social health, as is participating in social events and classes.
- Vocational – Vocational wellness includes volunteering to help others, finding meaningful activities to participate in, helping friends and neighbors, and achieving personal goals.
- Spiritual – Spiritual health does not refer to religion or religious practices. This dimension of wellness includes practicing relaxation or meditation, believing that you have your own purpose in life, and being open to new experiences.
