Environmental wellness has to do with your immediate surroundings and environment. This includes both the physical space and those occupying it. Ideally, we want pleasant and stimulating environments that support well-being. Actions such as keeping a clean, organized room or surrounding yourself with people that make you feel comfortable are essential parts of environmental wellness. Likewise, taking care of the natural environment that we all share can be part of environmental wellness. Below are some articles, videos, exercises, and on-campus resources pertaining to emotional wellness.
