The Health & Wellness Hub, on The Learning Portal, is a free online resource curated and created by Ontario College Libraries.
Well-being is an overall state of happiness and health, and the sense that your life is going well. It encompasses many different aspects of your life, such as your physical health, your relationships, your career, and your environment. All of these aspects of your life are connected and affect how happy you are in your life. This hub will help you develop strategies to improve your overall well-being.
This Wellness guide features a selection of library resources where you can learn more about all facets of wellness. You can also discover more resources through our Library Search.
From Seneca Polytechnic Student Life:
Wellness is a way to address and make changes to certain aspects of your life that will lead to healthier physical, emotional, and social outcomes.
These changes look and feel different for everyone. Developing your wellness strategy is about discovering what is best for you and how to easily sustain these changes for long-term health and well-being.
