Facets of Well-being logo
UChicago Student Wellness takes a holistic approach to wellness by focusing on seven key Facets of Wellbeing. Wellness is much more than physical health, exercise, or nutrition. It is the full integration of states of physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. The model used by our campus includes emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual wellbeing. Each of these seven Facets of Wellbeing promotes balance in our lives. See below to learn more about each.
Emotional wellbeing is accepting your worth, recognizing and expressing your feelings in healthy ways, and coping with life’s challenges.
