This program explores wellness in the context of family, work and leisure. The landscape of family, work and leisure is ever changing. Striking a wellness balance in this ever-changing landscape means understanding better the goals we set and the choices we make that can impact wellness. This program will focus on the social/emotional, cultural, intellectual, spiritual, and physical dimensions of wellness. We will look at how states of health change in response to the demands of work and family. Students will have the opportunity to investigate specific issues in women's and men's health and to do research on practical approaches to health and wellness. Basic nutrition concepts will be included among the topics in this program.
