Health and Wellness
The Health and Wellness unit at Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµapp provides intentional collaboration
for the promotion of overall wellness encouraging students to be involved, healthy
and well. The university uses a holistic approach to support student wellness and
has a variety of facilities, programs, and services in place to support a healthy
and balanced lifestyle. The elements of wellness encompass the full student experience—from
class activities to informal recreation, physical and psychological health to social
development. Students are encouraged to think of wellness as a lifelong goal.
We embrace the dimensions of wellness created by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA). We use this framework to guide the development of
our programs, services, and resources.
The dimensions are defined as:
Emotional: identifying our emotions and coping effectively with them
Spiritual: expanding the sense of purpose and meaning in our life
Intellectual: engaging in activites to expand our knowledge and creativity
Physical: tending to the needs of our bodies, including nutrition, sleep and physical activity
Environmental: ensuring the spaces we inhabit support our wellbeing and caring for spaces that care
for us
Social: fostering a sense of connection and belonging through interpersonal relationships
Occupational: generating personal satisfaction and enrichment through our work
Financial: developing knowledge and skills for managing finances
