Why Wellness Matters
There are eight different aspects to wellness: physical, social, financial, environmental, intellectual, occupational, emotional, and spiritual. Maintaining balance of each of these elements contributes to total wellness. SAMSHA is a great resource on each of these wellness topics and how you can work to build the habits and routines to achieve that balance. Think about the area(s) that you want to focus on and take that first step.
Objective Zero focuses on an upstream approach to suicide prevention, working to connect service members, veterans, their families and caregivers to peer support and wellness resource in an effort to combat suicide. If we can identify and address the small issues and stressors we can prevent them from becoming big problems and crises. It’s typically not often just one single stressor or factor that leads someone to crisis or suicide, so building the skills and habits that keep us well can be a protective factor.
