The 8 Dimensions of Wellness
Wellness is caring for your mind, body, and soul. It is usually affected by your culture and your life experiences. It is self-defined and dynamic. Wellness is not just the absence of illness or stress – you can still strive for improved wellness even if you are not experiencing these challenges currently in your life. While all dimensions of wellness need your attention for you to truly flourish, there doesn’t have to be a perfect balance among all dimensions. Instead, the goal is to find what works best for you. The dimensions are interconnected, so you may notice that most topics (e.g. stress, finances, healthy relationships, substance use, etc.) influence multiple dimensions. Explore these dimensions with us and learn about tips and resources related to each dimension during NLI’s 2022 Wellness Initiative.

RECRUITMENT STARTS FOR 2022/2023 MENTORS |
True2U is a volunteer mentoring program that helps CMSD eighth graders explore their true selves and prepare to make the most of high school as an important step on the path to career readiness. True2U is a proud partner of the PACE (Planning and Career Exploration) Program in CMSD, an embedded curriculum for 6th – 12th graders that provides them with the knowledge, skills, experiences, and confidence to uncover the occupations or careers they want to pursue.
Through mentoring with True2U and volunteering with PACE, you can help students develop good decision-making skills and encourage them to leverage their strengths and interests as they start out on their paths to high school, college, and/or career choices. True2U Mentors are partnered with at least one other volunteer and use their unique backgrounds and PACE curriculum to assist a group of 8th graders, during the school day, in better understanding themselves and the opportunities available to them.
