Managing and accessing health care and staying well – medical, mental health, behavioral health, developmental, wellness, and nutrition.
Health is connected closely to many other life domains. If you aren’t healthy, you might not be able to have the job you want or be able to live where you would like. You might not be able to spend time with family and friends or be involved in the community and other desired activities. Planning for and looking after one’s health and wellness can be an important factor in living the kind of life that you want. Making sure you get proper medical care, paying attention to nutrition and fitness, and looking after your mental health are all part of healthy living.
