Emotional Health / Wellbeing
The National Center for Emotional Wellness (NCEW) describes emotional wellness or well-being “as an awareness, understanding, and acceptance of feelings and an ability to manage effectively through times of change or challenge.”
Emotional well-being, or emotional health or wellness, refers to how well people are able to accept and manage their emotions and cope with challenges throughout life. Emotional well-being can affect how well someone can function day to day or how they are able to deal with change or uncertainty. Difficulties in emotional well-being may have a negative effect on a person’s mental and physical health.
By gaining awareness of the emotions each person feels and how to process them, the NCEW says people can regain a feeling of control, minimize difficulties, and continue to function healthily.
