Holistic Model
Holistic means the parts of a system are interrelated. Each part is related in such a way that their functioning is conditioned by their relationship with one another. Everything is interlinked. To live in a state of complete Wellness means all dimensions of your life must be healthy. The six dimensions of health are:
Physical
Developing healthy activities that benefit your body such as nutritious eating and exercise. It is taking care of your body. #CampusRecreation/CORE
Intellectual
Using your resources to expand your knowledge, to create, and to become mentally stimulated. #ContinuingEducation #Library
Emotional
Focuses on taking care of yourself and developing ways to enhance your inner resources. It is paying attention to elements such as self-expression, stress reduction, and relaxation. #CounselingCenter
Spiritual
Enhances the connection between your mind and body. It is personal growth.
Social
Developing healthy relationships with those around you. It is contributing to your community. #IntheNews #GreekLife #StudentUnion
