Social Wellness refers to one's ability to interact with people around them. It involves using good communications skills, having meaningful relationships, respecting yourself and others, and creating a support system that includes family members and friends.

If you are a person engaged in the process of social wellness, you see the value in living in harmony with your fellow human beings, seeking positive, interdependent relationships with others, and developing healthy behaviors. You are also willing to actively seek out ways to preserve the beauty and balance of nature and the community.

Are you engaged in the process of social wellness?

• Do I plan time to be with my family and friends?
• Do I enjoy the time I spend with others?
• Are my relationships with others positive and rewarding?
• Do I explore diversity by interacting with people of other cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs?

If you answered "No" to any of the questions, it may indicate an area where you need to improve the state of your social wellness.
