  2. Why are hospital wellness centers a good idea?” • rehabilitation is a large part of recovery. Wellness centers that provide screening and rehabilitation are a one-stop type health care center—the “Wal-Mart of health care.”

  3. Fundamentals of Wellness • Health: • 1.The general condition of the body or mind with reference to soundness and vigor: good health; poor health. • 2.Soundness of body or mind; freedom from disease or ailment: to have one's health; to lose one's health. • Wellness: • 1.The quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, esp. as the result of deliberate effort. • 2.An approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases. • What behaviors promote Health and Wellness? • Explain how diseases are prevented:

  4. TERMS • OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Administration – a federal agency that establishes and enforces standards that protect workers form job-related injuries and illnesses • 2. CDC: – a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services is concerned with the causes, spread and control of diseases in populations. • 3. CLIA – the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment is a federal amendment that established standards, regulations, and performance requirements based on the complexity of a test and the risk factors associated with incorrect results. All medical laboratory personnel must adhere to CLIA guidelines.

  5. Introduction The Teenage years can be full of ups and downs. Sometimes all of the changes that come your way can be overwhelming. Living a healthy lifestyle is one way to cope with all of these changes. There are many different areas of wellness that will help you live a healthy lifestyle. The four areas of wellness that we will focus on for this project are: physical wellness, social wellness, emotional wellness, and spiritual wellness. By paying attention to these four areas of wellness, you can bring balance to your life.

  6. Immunity: • 1.The state of being immune from or insusceptible to a particular disease or the like. • 2.The condition that permits either natural or acquired resistance to disease. • 3.The ability of a cell to react immunologically in the presence of an antigen.

  7. Natural active: Occurs during infection. It is active because lymphocytes are activated by antigens on pathogen's surface. • Artificial active: Injecting or taking antigens by mouth. Takes time for T and B cells to be activated but gives long lasting immunity. • Natural passive: Mother to child through placenta or milk. • Artificial passive: Used during potentially fatal diseases. Provides an instant response but only temporary as antibodies are not the body's own so memory cells are not created. E.g. tetanus - injection of antitoxins given. • Memory cells are only produced in active immunity.Protection for active immunity is permanent whereas in passive immunity it is only temporary.Antigens are only encountered in active immunity.Active immunity takes several weeks to become active but passive is immediate

  8. What is Emotional Wellness? • Emotional wellness focuses on how you feel and how in tune you are with your own emotions. When you are in emotional balance, you feel at peace with yourself. You know your own capabilities and limitations, and you can cope with a healthy amount of stress in your life. You have a good relationship with yourself and with others around you. Relationships with others will have a strong foundation based on mutual trust and respect. The emotionally healthy individual has a strong sense of self, and remains true to him or herself while still being open to the ideas and opinions of others. Emotional health is about knowing yourself and your feelings. It is important to be emotionally healthy because it will promote happiness, positive feelings about yourself and your surroundings, and an overall sense of optimism. Emotional health is not one specific definition, but a continuum of qualities and behaviors. Emotional health is only one part of being a balanced and healthy individual. Physical, social, and spiritual health are just a few of the other parts of the puzzle that makes a person whole. Emotional Wellness is the ability to control stress and to express emotions appropriately and comfortably."

  9. What is Social Wellness? • The social health of individuals refers to "that dimension of an individual's well-being that concerns how he gets along with other people, how other people react to him, and how he interacts with social institutions and societal mores" (Russell 1973, p. 75). This definition is broad—it incorporates elements of personality and social skills, reflects social norms, and bears a close relationship to concepts such as "well-being," "adjustment," and "social functioning." • The social component of wellness means having the ability to interact successfully with people and one's personal environment."

  10. What is Social Wellness? Cont. • Physical Wellness: The physical component of wellness involves the ability to carry out daily tasks, develop cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, maintain adequate nutrition and a healthy body fat level, and avoid abusing alcohol and other drugs or using tobacco products." • Spiritual Wellness: Spirituality is the way you find meaning, hope, comfort and inner peace in your life. Many people find spirituality through religion. Some find it through music, art or a connection with nature. Others find it in their values and principles. • The spiritual component of wellness provides meaning and direction in life and enables you to grow, learn, and meet in new challenges."

  11. How is spirituality related to health? • No one really knows for sure how spirituality is related to health. However, it seems the body, mind and spirit are connected. The health of any one of these elements seems to affect the health of the others. Some research shows that things such as positive beliefs, comfort and strength gained from religion, meditation and prayer can contribute to healing and a sense of well-being. Improving your spiritual health may not cure an illness, but it may help you feel better, prevent some health problems and help you cope with illness, stress or death.

  12. How can I improve my spiritual health? • If you want to improve your spiritual health, you may want to try the following ideas. However, remember that everyone is different, so what works for others may not work for you. Do what is comfortable for you. • Identify the things in your life that give you a sense of inner peace, comfort, strength, love and connection. • Set aside time every day to do the things that help you spiritually. These may include doing community service or volunteer work, praying, meditating, singing devotional songs, reading inspirational books, taking nature walks, having quiet time for thinking, doing yoga, playing a sport or attending religious services.

  14. letters • Letter #1 • Dear Wellness Wendy,I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just haven’t felt very good lately. I don’t think I’m sick. I mean, I don’t have a cold or the flu or anything. But I have felt frustrated, moody, and I can’t sleep. My grandma died a couple of weeks ago, and I haven’t felt very good since. I haven’t told anyone else about how I am feeling. I don’t want my friends to think I’m weird and my parents seem so upset about my grandma that I don’t want to bother them either. Please help me. What’s wrong with me and how can I feel better.Weary in WisconsinLetter #2 • Dear Balanced Billy,My friend Joey hasn’t seemed like himself lately. He has been really crabby and it seems like he is mad all the time. I never see him smile like he used to. He has stopped hanging out with friends after school. I’m worried that these are not just a few “bad days”. This has been going on for a few months now. Could he be depressed? I really care about my friend and want to help him! • Concerned Carrie

  15. Letters cont. • Letter #3 • Dear Balanced Billy, I am a 15 yr old student in the 10th grade and recently I have been so stressed over school. I always have tons of homework and studying to do each night and on top of that I have an after-school job at the local video store in town. Also, it seems like I never have any time for my friends or even myself. At the end of the day, I hardly have any energy, I'm never hungry, and I can hardly sleep. Do you have any advice for me to get my life under control? Thanks. • Stressed out Sam • Letter #4 • Dear Wellness Wendy, I am writing this to you because I do not know what to do. Lately I don’t know who my real friends are. I thought that my best friend and I would be best friends forever, but she/he is starting to hang out with some kids that I don’t like very much. She/he has changed so much that I don’t even recognize this person anymore! I don’t really want to change to act like his/her new friends, but I don’t want to lose this person either! It seems like my friend doesn’t even want to give me the time of day anymore! Don’t they remember how much fun we used to have together? This is starting to really hurt my feelings! Why does everything have to be so different now? Also, I am NOT getting along very well with my parents. I don’t think they understand how hard it is to be me. They are always bugging me about what I am doing, when I just want to be left alone! Help! I feel like my life is starting to fall apart, and I don’t know what to do!Bummed out Bobby
