Please join us for an Introduction to Whole Health
What is this?
? This Introduction to Whole Health session is designed to introduce you to the VA Whole Health approach to care.
? Our number one goal is that you accomplish the mission you create for yourself.
? Through our programs and services and, most importantly, your own strengths and abilities, we will work together in healing partnership to optimize your well-being with a focus on what is important to YOU.
? Transitioning from the Service can pose unique challenges and opportunities and we’ll discuss why a whole health approach is helpful in
meeting these challenges and capitalizing on your opportunities.
? This class is designed for Veterans transitioning from service, new enrollees to VA health care, and currently enrolled Veterans.
? We’ll also describe areas of self-care and well-being that make up all the different aspects of who we are as individuals.
What is Whole Health?
? Whole Health recognizes you as a whole person and helps support your unique answer to the question, “What would you do if your health were the best it could be?”.
? Whole Health goes beyond your illnesses, injuries, or disabilities.
? It focuses on your values and aspiration, your health and well-being and includes self-care and complementary therapies (such as acupuncture, massage, yoga, tai chi, mindfulness), along with your conventional medical care.
? In Whole Health care, you are a more active partner with your health team.
