Social well-being is a very important part in creating and maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Students may become so overwhelmed with school that they might neglect this part of their well-being. Just think back to a difficult time in your life….did it make it better knowing that you had the support, consideration and encouragement from a strong social network?
Some Social components of social wellness include:
• The caring and healthy relationships you have in your life
• Your social network, such as what clubs and/or organizations you belong to
• Your level of safety
• Your housing situation
• Your level of interdependence, and if you are willing to accept and give
help to other people
• Positive interactions with your community (i.e. volunteer work)
• Your acceptance of diversity. This means accepting people regardless of
their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability or religion
A successful Social health programme should help children in learning how to communicate so they can be understood, how to deal with peer pressure in a
realistic way, building confidence and trusting themselves, how to honor differences while respecting one’s own point of view, awareness of how they present themselves and what they’re getting back from others as a result, compassion and empathy for others.
