WELLNESS: WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT

A NEW APPROACH TO WELLNESS

The USOU approach to wellness is unique and our programs are designed to create a dynamic and evolving wellness plan that helps individuals to reach their full personal and professional potential. Each program incorporates top advice from leading psychologists, health professionals, educators, business coaches, motivational experts, and spiritual leaders. These programs can be personalized to meet each individual’s unique needs. Our goal is to provide valuable help at no or low cost. Wellness has several dimensions. The first one is emotional well-being. This includes coping effectively with life and creating satisfying relationships. The second one is physical well-being. Physical wellness encompasses a variety of healthy behaviors including adequate exercise, proper nutrition, and abstaining from harmful habits such as drug use and alcohol abuse. It also means developing such healthy habits today to not only add years to your life but also to enhance the enjoyment and quality of those years.
