Stress

The Office of Wellness Promotion engages students in intentional educational opportunities to cultivate life-long learning and a community of well-being. Students are engaged around topics such as alcohol, nutrition, sexual health, tobacco, and well-being.

The Office of Wellness Promotion provides Wellness Coaching which is an individualized process that empowers students to explore and practice strategies to support their health and well-being focusing on the four s’s: stress, sleep, social support, and substance use. Coaching is a short-term, action-oriented tool to help students explore their strengths and personal motivations, identify topics they want to explore, and work towards their health and well-being vision utilizing sustainable strategies in a supportive environment.
