Which of the following is NOT one of the eight dimensions of wellness according to SAMSHA?

  1. Emotional

  2. Physical

  3. Aesthetic

  4. Social

The correct answer is: Aesthetic

The eight dimensions of wellness outlined by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) encompass various aspects of a person's well-being that contribute to a balanced and healthy lifestyle. These dimensions include emotional, physical, social, spiritual, intellectual, environmental, financial, and occupational wellness. The aesthetic dimension, while important for some discussions around wellness, is not included in SAMHSA's framework. This distinction is significant because it emphasizes the comprehensive view of wellness that goes beyond solely aesthetic appreciation or values. Focusing on the eight recognized dimensions allows individuals and professionals in recovery coaching to assess and enhance overall wellness in a more structured and effective manner.
