With this option be sure to stay close to the instructions so that you’re not getting stuck just writing about these issues, but actually creating programs to bring awareness and change as well as to discuss the 6 dimensions of wellness and the Process of Change model mentioned within the instructions- this will all be part of the grading, so ultimately what you should work off of. It appears that you have these mixed in, but just wanted to share the reminder.
