Social and Emotional Wellness
Social well-being is our ability to effectively communicate with others, develop and maintain positive relationships, and create a community of support around ourselves. Part of our social well-being is having a sense of belonging which can be achieved through meaningful positive relationships, student organizations and clubs, community and special interest groups and many others. Our ability to identify emotions in others, recognize that those feelings are different than our own, respond empathically and adapt to a variety of situations is another important component of our social well-being.
Emotional well-being is our ability to effectively cope with life’s stressors and to identify and manage emotions in a way that supports and improves our mental well-being. This includes the ability to identify what you are feeling, how to manage that emotion, and how to navigate those emotions in a way that leads to stable and supportive relationships with others.
