Emotional wellness centers on the acceptance of your emotions and feelings.  Included is the ability to realistically evaluate your limitations and effectively cope with stress.  An emotionally well individual maintains healthy and satisfying relationships with others.

On the path to emotional wellness, your acceptance and awareness of a wide range of feelings in yourself and others becomes more apparent.  The ability to manage, understand and express your emotions will be enhanced leading to the development of relationships based on mutual commitment, trust, and respect.  During your exploration, life will become more rewarding, hopeful, and exciting.

Intellectual

Creative and stimulating mental activities are the basis of intellectual wellness.  An intellectually well person uses the available resources, in and out of the classroom, to expand their knowledge and skills for the betterment of society.

As you grow, you will continually seek issues relating to problem solving, creative thinking and learning. You will actively seek the opportunity to expand and challenge your mind through creative endeavors. Your natural instinct to remain abreast of current issues will surface and become satisfied through reading books, magazines and newspapers and pursuing other interests.
