The importance of wellness for ourselves and others
Health experts agree that feeling well is fundamental to functioning well. In addition, being in a good place not only benefits us but also those around us. Mark Slomp, Executive Director of Student Services at the University of Lethbridge, explains why it is so important to prioritize wellness. According to Stats Canada, less than half of Canadians aged 15 years and older were feeling highly satisfied with their lives in 2024. That number is down from 54 per cent from three years earlier.
