*8 DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH
The 8 Dimensions of Health (as identified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)
Lecture Series presented by Janice Balmer
Overview:
Health and wellness are vast topics, including popular factors like physical status and nutrition. But there are other facets that help determine a person’s overall health. As identified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (www.samhsa.com), health encompasses eight dimensions, in addition to physical: emotional; spiritual; intellectual; environmental; financial; occupational; and social. Janice Balmer, MHS, and local Mt. Gretna health consultant and trainer, will lead an interactive presentation on the 8 Dimensions as part of the PA Chautauqua’s 2020 Summer Series. Utilizing the on-line Zoom platform, weekly Janice will introduce a Dimension. Attendees will learn specifics, including relevant examples of how that Dimension can affect overall health. Recent research will be incorporated into the presentations. Attendees will gain an understanding of what role a Dimension might be playing in her/his life, and ways to maximize a Dimension’s affects. We will also consider the Dimensions through lenses like age; locality; and even world events (like a pandemic). Items that may be discussed include how healthcare costs affect treatment decisions; how being “awe-inspired” lowers the body’s levels of inflammatory markers; how environment affects children’s weight; and the most important Dimension as we age.
The first session will include a brief overview of maneuvering/asking questions via Zoom, followed by an introduction to all the Dimensions. We will then focus on the Physical Dimension. Tentatively, the schedule includes:
June 12 Introduction to all 8 Dimensions and Physical Dimension
June 26 Emotional and Spiritual Dimensions
July 17 Environmental Dimension
July 24 Intellectual Dimension
July 31 Financial Dimension
August 14 Occupational Dimension
August 21 Social Dimension
August 28 Follow-up Discussion and Summary
While attendees are not required to attend all sessions, the topics are inter-related. Each session will begin at 10am via Zoom. To register for the FREE lecture series, and to receive Zoom link information, please contact Morgan Smith at pachautauqua@gmail.com
