We will cover the following elements are: (1) Career Wellbeing (2) Social Wellbeing (3) Financial Wellbeing (4) Physical Wellbeing (5) Community Wellbeing and (6) Spiritual Wellbeing. Community Wellbeing. The first definition of the word "community"; as a group established by men having shared values. That initial definition has been refined and expanded through the years.
