This poster demonstrated an ongoing development of a new model of wellness and identity development. The profession counseling is built on the foundation of lifespan development and holistic wellness. Yet, there is little research on models of wellness that highlight the significance of identity development as part of overall wellness. The current research is intended to fill this gap and develop a new model of wellness to be used by counseling students, educators, and clinicians.
Research continues on this model by Drs. Sarah Spiegelhoff, SUNY Oswego, and Claudette Brown-Smythe, SUNY Brockport.
