SIHP Development

The SIHP was developed with eight key assumptions in mind.

1. Most individuals would value information that would improve their wellness.
2. Most individuals do not know how distressing certain life events can be.
3. Wellness is complex, with many factors contributing to it.
4. Wellness is psychological as well as physical.
5. Increased and unmanaged stress can break down wellness.
6. Stress is created internally as well as externally.
7. Behaviour has consequences: some positive and some negative.
8. Wellness can be improved with a proper Health and Wellness plan.
