Social Wellness
听
Social wellness is how we relate and connect to others by engaging in the community and building and being a part of supportive social networks. This may include: being aware of others feelings and responding in an appropriate manner, having people with whom you have a trusting relationship, and being able to set and respect your own and others鈥 boundaries.
How do I achieve professional wellness?
Reflect on the following statements as they apply to you in your life, deciding if they are true for you:
"I am aware of others feelings and can respond in an appropriate manner."
"I have people with whom I have a trusting relationship."
"I am able to set and respect my own and others boundaries (boundaries can include personal space, personal belongings, and property and safety."
