Emotional Well-Being
RON THOMPSON | Chair , Wellness Committee
Welcome to the second issue of ARTAWellness . In each issue of news & views , the Wellness Committee plans to focus on one or two dimensions of wellness , as described in the autumn 2016 issue . Our goal is to provide ARTA members with information about all aspects of wellness and to suggest useful resources for those who are interested in more in-depth information on a particular topic .
Our focus in this issue is emotional well-being . Caregiving of others is one aspect of a retiree ’ s life that is not often planned for or even discussed , but is a reality that touches many of our lives . The very important topic of general mental well-being is another topic that we discuss in this issue . We hope that through these articles , we may draw more attention to two topics that have impact on our emotional well-being and be helpful to some of you experiencing concerns about these topics .
The focus of ArtaWellness is in large part based on the wellness survey conducted a couple of years ago . It has provided much information on wellness concerns of importance to ARTA retirees . We welcome feedback from our readers — and suggestions for future topics .
