Social Wellness

Social Wellness is building and engaging in trusting, respectful, and authentic relationships.

It’s less about having lots of connections and more about having supportive people in your life who contribute to your growth.

Development of assertiveness skills not passive or aggressive ones
Balancing social and personal time
The ability to be who you are in all situations
Becoming engaged with other people in your community
Valuing diversity and treat others with respect
Continually being able to maintain and develop friendships and social networks
The ability to create boundaries within relationship boundaries that encourage communication, trust and conflict management
Remembering to have fun
Having supportive network of family and friends

Putting effort into building your social wellness.
Getting involved on campus by joining student organizations, intramural sports, or attending residence hall socials—just a few ways to connect.
Ending relationships that no longer contribute to your well‑being, including friendships. After ending a relationship, giving yourself time and space to grieve.
Balancing alone time and social time. Well‑being comes from having a relationship with yourself and with others.
Treating others with the same compassion, respect, and trust that you want to receive.

Communicating clearly helps you articulate your needs and set boundaries with your energy, time, and priorities.
