Foundations of Wellness Passport
Wellness is a holistic framework that recognizes the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. It includes several key foundations of well-being: financial, physical, emotional, intellectual, occupational, social, environmental, and spiritual. Each foundation plays an important role in helping students function at their best both academically and personally and contributes to overall wellness.
Achieving wellness requires attention to all areas of well-being. When one foundation
is overlooked, it can affect balance in other areas. Understanding how these eight
foundations are interconnected empowers students to make informed choices and care
for themselves more effectively.
We invite you to explore the Wellness Passport created by Student Health and Wellness
to learn more about each dimension of wellness and support a balanced, fulfilling
college experience. If you would like additional support, we encourage you to reach
out to the Student Health and Wellness office or explore the many valuable resources
available across campus.
