This International Family Day 15th May, 2021 Dr Prem & Associates has launched a unique campaign that went viral. The campaign sent out the message of a broader Family stretching from indoors to the outer world establishing a bridge with social wellness. Within moments of the campaign launch, it received a loud appreciation from colleagues, followers, and well-wishers acknowledging the value of family and its influence on social wellness that is so badly needed at this point of time.
If anything that has the most conspicuous influence on our life, it is our ‘Family’. The dependence and care that we get from our family go a long way in how we influence our society and the posterity with our inculcated values.
Importance of family and its link with our social wellness
Some important facts:
- Studies suggest family connections and social resources offer a greater sense of purpose benefiting our well-being throughout the life.
- Married life, especially happily married life is linked to better physical and mental health. Married life provides better access to economic and social resources that promote individual wellbeing.
- Ample data support the fact that an individual’s family life and social environment do affect vital physiological parameters including immune, endocrine, and cardiovascular functioning.
Family is the immediate extension of oneself surrounded by well-wishers, advisors and people who truly care for us. In fact, a family is created where each and every member share moments of joys and sorrows, triumphs, and failures helping everybody to emerge stronger than before. Each member is a warrior in the trench sharing the difficult moments while combating external threats and rejoicing together the victory.
On the same plane, a great organisation is just an extension of a great family. It offers us the space for growth, effective guidance and leadership that steers us in the right direction for the furtherance of our career. It is the much-coveted space where we are likely to get parental guidance, support, love,and care from all in times of need.
The values we build up from years of our family guidance both at home and workplace get reflected in our social wellness where we learn to care for others. It is these values that help in setting a great connection with the society that is getting highly recognized in the current distressful situation.
