Eight Dimensions of Wellness: Helping clients reflect on current and desired wellness

*Space is limited. RSVP is required to attend.

The Eight Dimensions of Wellness is a wellness model endorsed by SAMHSA as one of their wellness initiatives. This model helps lay the framework for a holistic wellness perspective and can be used to augment discussion around clients' holistic wellness.

Rebecca Stone, LMHC of Stone Counseling & Consulting Services first learned about the Six Dimensions of Wellness (now expanded to eight dimensions) when working on a college campus, as it was the basis for some of the campus wellness initiatives. Rebecca integrated use of the wellness model into counseling sessions as a way to help clients explore the different dimensions in their wellbeing and set goals. She still uses this model with clients in her private practice and has received positive feedback from clients regarding use of the model. Rebecca will present information about the Eight Dimensions of Wellness and how she uses the model to help clients reflect on their current and desired wellness, which helps clients feel empowered to take control of other aspects of their wellness which may be affecting their mental health.
