National Recovery Month is an event promoted annually by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMSHA) with this, its 33rd year of celebration. As you may be aware, Whole Health is VA’s approach to promote health and well-being and endorses SAMHSA’s wellness initiative. This initiative encourages mental health consumers, professionals, and primary care providers to communicate about overall wellness. It presents a diagram of the eight dimensions of wellness: social, environmental, physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, intellectual, and financial.
