Mental/Emotional Health
Mental health is the foundation for thinking, feeling, communication, learning, resilience and self-esteem. Mental health is also key to relationships, personal, and emotional well-being. Many people who have a mental illness do not want to talk about it, but mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. Nearly 1 in 5 Americans experience some form of this every year. It is a medical condition, just like heart disease or diabetes. And mental health conditions are treatable. The psychological community is continually expanding our understanding of how the human brain works, and which treatments help people successfully manage mental health conditions.

Physical Health
It is true that what is good for the body is good for the mind. Indeed, when our bodies are functioning well, when we eliminate pain, and increase energy, we can produce something important with our mind; on the contrary, when our bodies are weakened or tired, it gets too difficult to see through these sensations and concentrate on something else. A clear distinction is often overstated between mind and body. When considering mental health and physical health, the two should not be thought of as separate. Just as poor mental health can negatively impact physical health so to can poor physical health lead to an increased risk of developing mental health problems.

Spiritual Health
While different individuals may have different views of what “spirituality” means, it is most generally described as the search for meaning and purpose in human existence. It is important for everyone to explore what they believe, why they believe it, and how it provides a sense of meaning and purpose. Your values, beliefs, principles, morals, and religious beliefs define your spirituality. If you are a person engaged in the process of spiritual wellness, you are willing and able to think beyond yourself in order to question the meaning and purpose in your life and the lives of others. In addition, you seek to find congruence and clarity between the beliefs you hold and the social and physical world that exists around you.
