- Identify a person that you can interview in terms of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness. You can interview a friend, relative, classmate or use an existing client (but please make sure that you have disguised their identity.)
- Assess that individual based on the eight dimensions and include a description of how that person functions within each dimension. Is the person within healthy limits or is there room for improvement? How do you know this? Did you learn it from the person? Was it based on observation? Case notes? Please describe.
- If there are areas that can be improved upon, what are some suggestions that you, as a health counselor, might make that are within the boundaries of your professional relationship? Don’t share this with the person you are interviewing; it is not appropriate for the type of relationship you have with them.
- Finally, please comment on your own thoughts and feelings as you conducted this interview. Were some dimensions easier to talk about than others? If so, which ones? What made some dimensions easy or difficult for you? Do you think that your conclusions and plans for this person are accurate? Or do you think you might have needed some supervision?
