Read The Holistic Flow Model of Spiritual Wellness for this discussion. This model of wellness incorporates and focuses specifically on the spirituality of the individual and its contribution to personal development. Through the historical development of the role of spirituality in healthy development, models of spirituality have been incorporated in treating individuals as well as, for our purposes, in researching the components of individual well-being. Although our focus does not include clinical approaches in human studies, we will be working with individuals who may provide clinical resources for individuals in the community. Incorporating an understanding of their viewpoints and how they are utilizing holistic treatment for individuals is critical for our ability to work collaboratively with them. Utilizing all dimensions of development for individuals of different cultures, including spirituality and wellness, will allow us to cater to their needs and thus move us toward greater anthropological insight into their world as we collaborate with professionals to develop advocacy for them from other disciplines.
