WIN Dimensions
Interact with the Wellness dimensions above to learn more about each dimension of wellness and how we faciliate this dimension at Barry.
Emotional
Awareness and acceptance of personal feeling while being sensitive and responsive to the emotional state of others. Being emotionally well allows one to possess the ability to combine feeling, thoughts, and behaviors in order to arrive at personal decisions. Emotional health is the ability to put the past in perspective and plan for the future while living in the present. Wellness in this dimension also includes a sense of autonomy, recognition of personal limitations, the skills to deal effectively with stress, and the ability to form satisfying relationships.

Intellectual
Fulfillment of the intellectual life begins with initial inquiry into the learning process and continues lifelong to improve the quality of life. Maintaining the viability of the life of the mind provides the stimulation which enhances the quality of life itself. Reading, studying, conferencing, viewing, conversing, and other conscious efforts to maintain the life of the mind, all provide intellectual stimulation which reinforces physical well-being.

Spiritual
Spiritual Wellness is a personal venture involving values and beliefs that provide a purpose in our lives. There are different views of what spiritualism is, depending on the individual, however it is generally considered to be the search for meaning and purpose in human existence, leading one to strive for a state of peace and harmony with oneself and others while balancing the needs of others.

Vocational
Vocational wellness can be nurtured by matching your core values with interests, hobbies, employment and volunteer work. Development in this area includes the ability to assess personal strengths and skills. Based on this assessment, choices will be made which are enriching to the total self. A person healthy in this dimension strives to express personal values through work and other activities that are rewarding to the self and valuable to the community.

Global
Developing an appreciation for a clean, healthy environment in order to get the most from any wellness program. The individual should also develop an understanding of humanity's place in the global ecosystem, particularly in terms of material cycles and energy pathways. This understanding will lead to a reduction in humanity's sometimes negative impact on global ecosystems.
