Wellness is commonly viewed as having seven dimensions: intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and vocational. Vocational wellness refers to using your knowledge, skills, and talents in such a way that enhances one’s sense of purposefulness. No matter age or ability, we all want to feel like we have a purpose and something to contribute. In this session we will hone in on this dimension of wellness and the role it plays in feeling like we are advancing in age with a sense of purpose. We will also explore ways in which we can incorporate occupational wellness into programming at all levels of care.
