Wellness Programs

About

Wellness is defined as an intentional, self-directed process of achieving a state where faculty personally and professionally flourish.  Wellness can include five different domains—physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and social.  To truly flourish,  self-awareness of your needs in all areas and intentional changes to promote your own wellness is needed.

Our goals are to provide health promotion educational information, facilitate the incorporation of health-related behaviors and wellness practices in our faculty,  to promote awareness of and access to crisis and support services.

General wellness resources are derived from various professional listservs, websites, and apahcpsychologists.org.
