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 hormone makes your prostate swell?

The prostate produces a fluid that is a component of semen. As men age, the cells of the prostate proliferate in response to the presence of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. This causes prostate to grow in size, resulting in an enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH.

Men often dread even the idea of having a prostate check. But because enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition that affects men as they age, it's important to know the facts. About 50% of men between the ages of 51 and 60 have BPH, and that number jumps to 70% among men aged 60 to 69 and around 80% of men over 70 years of age. While some men who have BPH do not experience any bothersome symptoms, for many it causes problems with urination including increased urinary frequency, urgency, and an inability to completely empty the bladder. Fortunately, a range of treatments are available for BPH, from lifestyle changes to medications to surgical interventions. “BPH and the associated urinary symptoms are one of the most common reasons for a man to visit a urologist,” says urologist Daniel Kellner, MD. “Many men tend to accept urinary problems from BPH as a normal part of aging; they may not realize there is help available to improve their urination and quality of life.”
