Foundational Wellness: Physical Health

Explore
Physical Health

While considering Foundational Wellness, it is imperative that we outline and review physical health. This topic, at its core, is the state of your physical body. It is taking a broad approach to exploring topics ranging from hygiene practices to accessibility, from sexual health education to teaching about cold and flu. Within this area, we are able to understand both the topics as well as the related healthcare resources and support systems in place. Through this education, we can identify ways to make individual and environmental adaptations or behavioral shifts that are needed to support communal well-being.
