Over the winter quarter, we will be highlighting all eight dimensions of wellness. This website will be continually updated as events are brought to our attention & developed. Please continue to check back and follow us on Instagram at Be Well Broncos. Engage with us & share your tips to care for yourself.
Open each week of the quarter to see the events that are happening for the week & to learn more about the dimension of wellness.
Wellness is a multidimensional process of achieving a healthy balance throughout one’s lifetime. SCU’s Wellness Model has eight dimensions of wellness and was created as a guide to help enhance our SCU community's pursuit of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Each of the eight dimensions is presented by an icon that will assist individuals in understanding how programs and events will help enhance their wellness.
Our commitment to well-being stems from "Cura Personalis"—the Jesuit value of "Care of the Whole Person." Whether you want to find resources to help you deepen in a particular practice of self-care, a mentor to talk with individually, or events that help you connect with other Broncos, there are so many resources available for you! Explore each aspect of the Wellness Wheel to connect and thrive.
