Spiritual (altruism, Higher Power) 5. Intellectual (university, learning something new) 6. Vocational (meaningful work) 7. enough money (part-time work, bursaries) 8. safe housing (off campus housing, rez) This "Loot and Learning" Bag is mostly to help clients and you have some fun – but also to reinforce the six (to eight) components of whole health. G. B. Toys Physical - nutritious snack Social – mug Emotional – “stuffy” (plush toy) Spiritual – journal / note pad Intellectual – interesting pen Vocational – tote bag G. B. Information Physical – School and community resources Social – Recreational activities Emotional – Jan’s “business card” Spiritual - freebies card (plants, fish, cats, mystery novels, homemade blankets, lending library of books and videos) Intellectual – school success booklet Vocational – career options info Naturally, goodie bag contents and information would be geared to the population you serve.
