Health & Wellness Officers
The Health and Wellness Officers are ASB-appointed officers. Their job is to promote students' physical, mental, social, emotional, and sexual health across campus by providing information, resources, and activities related to these topics. Feel free to reach out to your officers for anything, whether that be questions, feedback, ideas or just to chat. However, keep in mind that they are NOT trained professionals. If you or someone you know is facing a serious issue or life-threatening circumstances, contact a professional either through SPHS counseling staff or a crisis line such as the National Suicide and Crisis Prevention Line.
