Service Plan Brief for Establishment of Wellness Centers For Providing Coaching and Physical
and Mental Services
Service Idea
The contemporary world experiences many challenges, ranging from harsh
environmental conditions occasioned by global warming, increasing cost of living, the
emergence of different types of diseases, a surge in the rate of suicide, increasing crime levels,
and personal and interpersonal conflicts. All these challenges have made it increasingly
challenging for people to live healthy and fulfilling lives. Hence, considering the inherent human
need for comfort, it is only natural that the lack of a conducive, trouble-free environment causes
immense suffering, which ultimately leads to stress and unproductivity. Therefore, the concept of
wellness is aimed at enabling human beings to continuously seek ways through which they can
live happily by minimizing the negative consequences associated with modern-day challenges.
Wali and Zahid (2013) define wellness as the process by which an individual becomes aware of
one’s health and the need to make better lifestyle choices to lead a healthy and fulfilling life.
Overall, wellness is a concept aimed at enabling people to make better choices that are necessary
for proper living.
Undoubtedly, quality living requires one to not only take care of their physical and
mental health but also to acquire a different type of skills and knowledge that can ensure survival
in a multicultural environment. Accordingly, the concept of wellness incorporates eight different

dimensions, which if attended, can create a fulfilling life. The eight dimensions include
emotional wellness, environmental wellness, financial wellness, intellectual, occupational,
physical, social and spiritual wellness (Solanki, Rath, Silan, & Singh, 2020; Harris, 2016).
According to Strout (2018), fulfilling the eight dimensions is vital for healthy living.
Accordingly, society needs to embrace the concept of wellness to ensure people live optimally by
subduing all negative elements such as stress and illness.
The proposed project, which entails establishing a wellness center for coaching and
mental and physical health services is informed by the need to offer the necessary help to people
contending with various challenges, particularly mental and health issues. In particular, the
successful establishment of wellness facilities will play a vital role in equipping people with the
life skills necessary for proper living, especially in an era in which lifestyle diseases continue to
affect society. In general, the wellness centers will not only be essential for enhancing individual
health, but also for creating a harmonious and productive society.
Benefits to The Targeted Population
Improvement of Health Behaviors
The establishment of wellness centers will play an integral role in improving people’s
health behaviors as well as providing an excellent avenue for behavioral change. Indeed, the
primary role of such centers is to provide people with the education and skills necessary for
instigating positive behavior, such as adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors (Purcell,
