New to holistic wellness? Start here: FSC Counseling Center Six Dimensions of Holistic Wellness

What it means to engage in Occupational/Financial Wellness per the National Wellness Institute ¹:

"Occupational wellness follows these tenets:
• It is better to choose a career which is consistent with our personal values, interests, and beliefs than to select one that is unrewarding to us.
• It is better to develop functional, transferable skills through structured involvement opportunities than to remain inactive and uninvolved.¹"
