Description: Promoting health and well-being are common goals for social work practitioners. This course focuses on healing justice and the role of holistic well-being in professional practice, specifically how practitioners can work on their own holistic well-being while providing care to others. Students will examine the science and strategies of well-being (e.g., mindfulness, positive psychology, vulnerability) while considering all system levels (i.e., micro, mezzo, macro) as possible sources for support and intervention.
