Multicultural Competency

A society that truly applies a wellness approach as a pathway to optimal living is by nature inclusive and multicultural. The Mission of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) Multicultural Competency Committee is to support NWI with increasing inclusiveness by advancing multicultural competency within wellness best practices, and to assist with the development of knowledge, awareness, and skills to deliver equitable and culturally appropriate programs and services for wellness practitioners, organizations, underserved populations, and communities.

Applying Wellness

By applying the Six Dimensional Model, a person becomes aware of the interconnectedness of each dimension and how they contribute to healthy living. This holistic model explains: How a person contributes to their environment and community ,and how to build better living spaces and social networks The enrichment of life through work, and its interconnectedness to living and playing

The development of belief systems, values, and creating a world-view

The benefits of regular physical activity, healthy eating habits, strength and vitality as well as personal responsibility, self-care and when to seek medical attention

Self-esteem, self-control, and determination as a sense of direction

Creative and stimulating mental activities, and sharing your gifts with others

The National Wellness Institute devised three questions that can help persons and organizations assess the degree to which wellness is incorporated into a particular approach or program:

Does this help people achieve their full potential?

Does this recognize and address the whole person (multi-dimensional approach)?

Does this affirm and mobilize peoples’ positive qualities and strengths?

Applying a wellness approach can be useful in nearly every human endeavor. As a pathway to optimal living, wellness is being applied to related fields, such as health promotion and holistic health, and has seen a growth in “helping professions” including coaching, counseling, and medical arts and practices.
