Wheel of Wellness Assessment

Morning Session 10:10 - 11:00 AM

“How are you?” It’s a simple question that is sometimes so difficult to answer honestly. One ingredient of self-care is understanding where you are currently in terms of your well-being. The wellness wheel is an interactive web-based tool and visual representation that assesses an individual’s perception of overall wellness. The wellness wheel focuses on 8 important dimensions of wellness: emotional, financial, environmental, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual. Participants will learn about each dimension, be guided through the online assessment, and then access and understand their results. A reflection exercise and activity guide will help you strengthen a dimension of your choice.
