Training Room 1: Defining Health and Wellness

 

Project

 

In Training Room 1 Project you will develop a personal definition of health and wellness and examine the dimensions and determinants of wellness.

 

You will submit three pieces to your teacher for assessment:

  • a presentation that showcases your definition of health and wellness and your understanding of the dimensions and determinants of health and wellness
  • responses to the Formative Self-Assessment Reflection Questions

Your presentation can take any form that you and your teacher agree upon. For example, you might present your information as a combination of text and pictures, a computer presentation, a graphic design, or a video. Whatever format you choose, ensure that your presentation includes all required information and references.

Real World

 

Health and wellness are important for every person. People are more likely to become ill or die when they are unwell or unhealthy. With good health and wellness, you will enjoy a better quality of life. Many books have been written by authors claiming to be able to raise your health and wellness so that you will enjoy a long(er) life. Having a good understanding of what health and wellness is will allow you to be much more critical when presented with their claims.
