SHAW is focused on addressing the students needs according to the 8 dimensions of wellness. The concept of wellness includes the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being, nourishing the body, engaging the mind, and spiritual relaxation. It consists of eight mutually interdependent dimensions: physical, intellectual, emotional, Social, spiritual, vocational, financial, and environmental. To maintain good health, well-being, and quality of life, one should pay attention to all dimensions, as neglecting any of them will negatively affect the others.

Despite this, they need not be equally balanced. Our goal should be to achieve what feels most authentic to us as “personal harmony.”
