Living with Wellness (8 Dimensions of Wellness) | Wellness Encompassed

Let's talk about developing wellness and wellbeing throught the 8 Dimensions of Wellness! Have you ever heard of the 8 Dimensions of Welleness? It is a paradigm of living a life of fulfillment made by the occupational therapist Dr. Margaret (Peggy) Swarbrick. It details that health and wellness can be defined by 8 separate sectors: emotional, social, environmental, physical, intellectual, occupational, spiritual, and financial. Come with me as we further dissect what the 8 dimensions of wellness are and how it could be used!

Hi this is Cam and welcome to my channel! oteeandme focuses on the wonderful world of Occupational Therapy (OT)! The idea for this channel started from a realization in OT school that there is an apparent lack of fun and engaging occupational therapy content on YouTube for everyone to enjoy and learn from. From utilizing a holistic approach to care to the therapeutic use of occupations, this channel seeks to expand the knowledge of the general population on what OT is and what it can be. This channel focuses on utilizing the 8 Dimensions of Wellness in an effort to develop wellness through this occupational therapy scope. I look to make fun and engaging content for all walks of life to enjoy. Come along with me as we explore the many wonderful parts of OT! Let's develop wellness through occupation together!
