UCHW 120 - Concepts of Health and Wellness (2)

This course explores what it means to be healthy, in the fullest sense of physical, mental, social, and spiritual wellbeing. Personal health topics include healthy eating, mental and spiritual wellness, healthy relationships, physical activity, chronic and infectious diseases, violence and injuries, health insurance, and resources on and off campus to address health needs. Students develop health and information literacy skills and critical thinking in health decisions. In addition to personal health, we discuss disparities related to race, class, and gender, communities, Christian ethics, and the ways in which social factors and our actions contribute to others’ opportunities to live healthy lives. Offered: Every semester. (Formerly UCFH 120)
