National Wellness Week

What is National Wellness Week?

As part of National Recovery Month, SAMHSA is sponsoring the first National Wellness Week from September 19-25, 2011 to promote the many ways wellness can improve quality of life and increase life expectancy for people diagnosed with mental health issues.

During National Wellness Week, we aim to inspire individuals and systems to improve physical health and well-being, while exploring talents, skills, interests, social connections, and environment to incorporate other dimensions of wellness. During this week, peer-run, faith-based and other community organizations, as well as behavioral health and primary care providers are hosting events and promoting messages encouraging the Eight Dimensions of Wellness.  To view a list of events click here.
