Environmental components of wellness

Environmental wellness is rooted in having places to live and work that are safe for you emotionally and physically. It encompasses how we care for the environment, as well as how we create environments that are free from violence and the threat of violence.

In this dimension of wellness, you are engaged in taking responsibility for your personal safety and the safety of the environment. You take actions that keep you safe, and contribute to the well-being of the environment in which you live.
