Wellness is the active process of becoming aware and making active choices toward a successful way of being. 
There are eight areas that contribute to overall wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, career, financial, creative, and environmental.
We invite you to explore the resources provided here and share ideas of wellness activities that may inspire others in the School of Pharmacy to do the same!
