What is Wellness?

Wellness is the active process through which a person becomes aware of, and makes choices toward, a more successful existence. It is a dynamic process that requires ongoing attention, not a final goal or state to achieve. It is multi-dimensional, holistic and supports a positive and sustaining lifestyle.

University of Arkansas Wellness uses an eight-dimensional model. Learn more about each dimension by clicking into the individual icon below.

Why Does Wellness Matter?

Making positive lifestyle choices can significantly help improve academic and personal success. Adopting a wellness philosophy can greatly impact behaviors, emotions and relationships. Practicing personal wellness can greatly improve quality of life and maximize an individual’s full potential.

University of Arkansas Wellness aims to highlight how current campus-wide programming supports all aspects of growth and well-being for individuals by:

  • Encouraging academic and personal growth that fosters long-term, sustainable healthy behaviors and choices.
  • Providing information, opportunities, resources and support that facilitates the practice of healthy lifestyles and maximizes personal and academic potential.
  • Raising awareness of the benefits of focusing on wellness holistically.
