Pledge for Wellness

A National Call to Action for Wellness of People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders

SAMHSA’s Wellness Initiative aims to inspire individuals to improve one physical health behavior while exploring their talents, skills, interests, social connections, and environment to incorporate other dimensions of wellness.

As a Peer- and Persons-in-Recovery-Run Behavioral Health Organization or Recovery Community:

We pledge to:

EMPOWER PEOPLE WITH MENTAL AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS and the community to take action through wellness activities to improve their quality of life and increase years of life.
PROMOTE ASPECTS OF THE EIGHT DIMENSIONS OF WELLNESS through active involvement in satisfying work and play, joyful relationships, a healthy body and living environment, and happiness.
PROMOTE AN INTERNAL STRUCTURE that encourages employees and peers and persons in recovery to integrate wellness into their own lives.
PROVIDE NEEDED RESOURCES, such as smoking cessation tools and peer support and recovery services, if applicable.
ENCOURAGE GOAL-SETTING AND DISCUSS SPECIFICS for peers and persons in recovery to seek a holistic approach to improving personal wellness.

We support the Wellness vision and take the Pledge for Wellness.
