Well-being and its applications in the field of Orientation

Abstract

The work offers a theoretical foundation for the promotion of comprehensive well-being from Guidance and other Education Sciences. Its multidimensional character, different models and the individual and contextual bases for its construction are described.
Well-being is defined as the state that results from the vital balance between people's challenges and resources, which leads to the use of their own capacities and sensitivity in dealing with others, from the different areas of human integrality. Similarities and differences between welfare models are exposed in relation to the areas of which they are composed. Likewise, the personal and contextual elements that favor its construction are discussed. Depending on the scope of well-being for all, the relevance of a society in which there is equality between heterogeneous and diverse people stands out; reciprocity and equitable distribution of resources and opportunities.
