Growing interest in wellness is evident from fitness, nutrition and spirituality programs. Together, these lack the span of essentials found in the new Family Wellness Rainbow.
The Rainbow has a balance of six essentials that families need to ensure their wellness:
Health - Fitness is still the best medicine. It promotes health that prevents illness and helps us cope when illness strikes
Relationships - In these bonds we and our children experience consistent caring in good and bad times
Knowledge - Only the family can guide children in the selection and use of today’s endless information sources
The Family Itself - New recognition is needed by all families of the importance of their unique nature and job in these tough times
Values - All of us need new appreciation of the good, the bad and the consequences of both
Faith - Belief is still the bedrock of family life, we need to rediscover the simple truths
The Family Wellness Rainbow is a new way to attend to wellness. It combines six essentials. It displays the need for balance across the colours and their value.
