IN CRISIS

Wellness is "the balanced development of the total person..." (BYU Mission Statement), and is holistically comprised of six dimensions,


Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Financial, Emotional, and Social.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

John 14: 27

Developing this kind of emotional maturity will enable you to adapt to change, overcome hard times or unexpected situations, and form healthy relationships with yourself and others.



This year, we will highlight Emotional Wellness during March and April.
