Helene M. Langevin, M.D. August 9, 2022 The concept of whole person health, which serves as a framework for our activities at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), is not limited to physical health alone. Psychological and social factors are also key aspects of the whole person, and they have major impacts on health promotion and disease prevention at all stages of life. One area of particular importance to NCCIH is emotional well-being. NCCIH is interested in exploring ways to enhance emotional well-being—including the use of complementary and integrative health practices—and learning about how emotional well-being affects mental health, physical health, and resilience. |
