3 Health: The combination of your physical, mental and social well-being. Wellness: Maintaining an overall state of well-being; keeping a balance among your social, physical, and mental/emotional health. Target: I will be able to explain the key components of mental, social, and emotional health, and describe and explain the importance of the health continuum. Pg. 15

5 2. Mental/Emotional Health  Deals with how we think, feel and cope with daily life.  Mental Health Includes: learning, stress management, spiritual health, and mental illnesses or disorders.  Emotional Health Includes: The feelings about yourself and how well you relate to others, expressing feelings appropriately, and how well you meet the demands of daily life

6 3. Social Health  Deals with the way we react with people within our environment.  Includes: public health, family relationships, and peer relationships.

Then draw a picture in each section which represents this aspect in your life. Below your health triangle, explain why it is important for all sections to be balanced. *Use a minimum of 4 colors and good grammar. Pg. 14
