Dimensions of Well-Being

Emotional

A state in which you are able to cope with life stress, express emotions, and feel positive in areas of life. You are able to be aware of, manage, and accept thoughts and behaviors in a healthy way.

Social and emotional wellness

Financial

This includes understanding financial processes related to savings, income, and debt, while utilizing resources to achieve long-term goals towards future financial objectives. It also includes learning to live within your means, making informed financial decisions and investments, and setting short and long-term goals.

Social

Social well-being involves creating a sense of belonging through relationships and meaningful, authentic interactions with others. Your community network is made up of the people around you; your peers, mentors, faculty, family and colleagues. This may include communication, navigating conflict, boundary setting, and mutual respect regardless of our differences.

Physical

Partaking in healthy habits towards nutrition, sleep, exercise, appropriate health care, stress reduction, and overall physical health. Maintaining an optimal level of physical health allows you to nurture the other dimensions of wellness.
