Health and Wellness Promotion for the whole person: Whole Person Associates was founded in 1980 with the primary goal of publishing resources to help practitioners effectively teach stress management and wellness promotion. Each product was required to do the following: promote self-discovery, provide interactive activities, include reproducible worksheets, and approach health and wellness from a "whole person perspective" - mind, body & spirit. Through the years the publication program has expanded to include mental health and self-help, but the primary goal and product criteria has remained. The Whole Person Philosophy: Our products are intentionally focused on the whole person – the complex mixture of physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual components that make us human.
