Emotional Wellness and Mental Health |
|
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
-
Emotional wellness is an awareness and acceptance of a wide range of feelings in oneself and others. An emotionally well person understands their limitations.
-
Intellectual wellness involves ongoing learning and opening one's mind to new ideas and experiences. Sharing ideas with people from different backgrounds helps us advance in all aspects of life.
-
Social/cultural wellness is the ability to connect with other people in our world. This dimension is expressed through developing and maintaining friendships, family relationships and more.
-
Physical wellness includes appropriate exercise and proper nutrition and responsible decisions about sex, alcohol, tobacco and drug use.
The Student Wellness Office is Room 219 in the Recreation, Fitness and Wellness Center. The Student Wellness department develops, implements and coordinates health and wellness programs for the University community. They partner with campus departments/organizations and local community agencies to provide wellness outreach events throughout the year.
