Learn More8 Dimensions of Wellness
Wellness is often thought of as physical, emotional or mental health; however, our health and well-being is influenced by so much more.
Our health and wellness efforts at the University of Kansas are focused on the 8 Dimensions of Wellness below:
8 Dimensions of Health
Physical
Social

8 Dimensions of Health 2
Financial
Occupational
Psychological
Intellectual
Of these eight dimensions, it is natural for some dimensions to be more important in your life than others and everyone's routines and values are different. For example, some people exercise regularly, may be more social than others, recycle, or love reading books. Your level of wellness within each dimension also changes over time, especially during life events. We will all go through highs and lows, so during times of uncertainty look at the bright side, remain hopeful, and adapt.
