What is Wellness?
Definition of wellness: the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively pursued goal // lifestyles that promote wellness
The Global Wellness Institute defines wellness as the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health.
The World Health Organization defines wellness as being “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Pfizer says wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving.
Throughout the school year, SCAN has been offering ways to support school staff with increasing their wellness. As many definitions say, wellness has to be actively pursued. This summer, we’re continuing the pursuit.
