Social wellness is a process of developing a network of relationships available for support and sharing of life experiences. These relationships are based on interdependence, mutual trust, respect, empowerment and cultural competence. One engages in relationships with diverse groups of people, issues, and programs which guide self-authorship, while seeking to promote a more just and harmonious society.
