And Why It's Important

Wellness is about more than health -- it also includes emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing, and every aspect of wellness can affect a person’s life.

Veterans and their families often face difficult and unique physical and mental challenges, some as a result of war trauma. Often the approach in dealing with these challenges is a clinical diagnosis. But wellness is more than a clinical diagnosis; it is conscious, self-directed and evolving; holistic and multidimensional; positive and affirming; and inclusive. Programs and services that focus on the eight dimensions of wellness enhance the natural resiliency of veterans and their families and place them on a path to becoming successful, productive leaders and members of their community, and our goal is to offer broad recommendations and resources that can contribute to a person’s overall wellness..
