🦸Quote of the month:
AN INVITATION TO A BRAVE SPACE
Together, we will create brave space Because there is no such thing as a “safe space.”
We exist in the real world. We all carry scars, and we have all caused wounds.
In this space, we seek to reduce the volume of the outside world.
We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere,
We call each other to more truth and love.
We have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow.
We have the responsibility to examine what we think we know. We will not be perfect.
It will not always be what we wish it to be But It will be our brave space together,
And We will work on it side by side.

About
We are "the Zen Den." - a purposeful retreat on campus.
Wellness Centers, like the Zen Den, provide increased early interventions and tools to students experiencing challenges impacting their ability to focus and learn at school.
In the Zen Den, we strive to provide a "reset" space away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of campus where students can find calm. It is a digital detox zone, and we work to keep it a calming place. Please respect the "Zen" of our den.
During their visit, students can participate in various services. Most students utilize the short 15-minute "reset break."
Other services include personal support, community resources, emergency supplies for students, and self-efficacy skill building.
