About this Unit
Whereas health is commonly understood in terms of objective signs and symptoms (or their absence), wellbeing emphasizes subjective experience in the context of social and environmental factors that may support or impede a personal sense of wellbeing. This unit approaches wellbeing through a self-investigatory and reflective model that seeks to integrate systemic analysis of the individual, social, emotional, environmental and spiritual aspects of health and wellbeing in a personally meaningful way. Consideration of how issues of social justice and equity have differential impacts on both individuals and communities, and develop frameworks for taking personal and social action to enhance wellbeing.
