Health

Our Health and Wellness course focuses on cultivating students’ knowledge and understanding of total well-being across the multiple dimensions of health and wellness, which include social and cultural health, physical and sexual health, spiritual health, intellectual health, emotional and mental health, occupational health, environmental health, and financial health. All of the dimensions, when considered together as interrelated parts of total well-being as a whole, symbolize the core areas of an individual's life that impact one’s overall level of health and wellness.
Our goal is to help students learn how to consider the individual attributes of each dimension, to evaluate personal health and wellness behaviors and attitudes within each of these domains, and to use this information to make necessary or desired changes for increased total well-being through the application of taught strategies. Our curriculum is skills-based, providing students with the opportunity to learn and utilize specific health and wellness tools in their day-to-day lives.
