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.

What are the 12 social determinants of health?

Examples of SDOH include: Safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods. Racism, discrimination, and violence. Education, job opportunities, and income. Access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities. Polluted air and water. Language and literacy skills.

Social determinants of health (SDOH) have a major impact on people’s health, well-being, and quality of life. Examples of SDOH include:

Safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods

Racism, discrimination, and violence

Education, job opportunities, and income

Access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities

Polluted air and water

Language and literacy skills

SDOH also contribute to wide health disparities and inequities. For example, people who don't have access to grocery stores with healthy foods are less likely to have good nutrition. That raises their risk of health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity — and even lowers life expectancy relative to people who do have access to healthy foods. Just promoting healthy choices won't eliminate these and other health disparities. Instead, public health organizations and their partners in sectors like education, transportation, and housing need to take action to improve the conditions in people's environments. That's why Healthy People 2030 has an increased and overarching focus on SDOH.
