WOMEN AND WELL-BEING

CRIAW Conference

Well-being is the state or condition of being well a state characterized by happiness, health, security. Women experience many threats to well-being, but have worked together to identify and take action against these threats. The objective of the 1987 conference is to explore the theme "Women and Well-being." We envision the presentation of research and thinking on ways that women have strengthened and protected their own well-being and that of others, and on directions for the future. Presentations will encompass a variety of topics. What are the supports for women's physical, emotional, mental, economic, political and spiritual well-being? What are the threats to it? How do women affect the well-being of others in their social world? Potential topics include health and illness issues, strength, empowerment, abilities and disabilities, peace, economics and employment, marriage, family, and other relationships, arts and culture, stress, institutional problems and supports. We would like to emphasize a lifespan perspective, drawing special attention to issues relevant to young middle-aged and older women. The conference will focus on the positive side of issues and, the organizers hope that it will enhance the well-being of its participants.
