Mission Statement
Wellness Promotion and Education empowers students to thrive and flourish using an evidence-based and holistic approach to wellbeing as a capacity for student success. We collaboratively create systems that facilitate this capacity and encourage student connectedness to themselves, each other, their communities, and the planet. Our programs are student-led and center equity, justice, and inclusion.
Wellness Wheel
Wellness reflects how we live our lives, the joy we experience, and our overall health. Student wellness is experienced in 8 dimensions: emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical, environmental, financial, occupational, and social wellness.
Wellness Promotion and Education (WPE) captures these 8 dimensions under the umbrella of 3 interconnected dimensions:
- Spiritual wellness: the process of creating meaning, balance, and connectedness.
- Physical wellness: a resource allowing individuals and communities to meet their basic needs and engage in activities promoting sleep, nutrition, and movement.
- Mental wellness: a resource centered on emotional, social, and psychological well-being.
