Purpose: Our intention for this site page is to provide students with an opportunity to focus on bringing wellness into their daily lives. While we will have some resources available to you on this site, this page will serve as the initial way to sign up and receive access to our Wellness Room located in the Counseling Center.
What is the Wellness Room?
The Wellness Room is a safe, neutral, soothing space for students to take a mindful moment to breathe, refresh, and center themselves when they may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed. We envision this to be a space for students to prioritize their emotional and mental well-being.
What can you do in the Wellness Room?
BREATHE and REST for a short time away from others
Spend some time to JOURNAL your thoughts and feelings
Complete a 10 - 15 minute CALMING MEDITATION
Try COLORING & DRAWING to relax your mind
Quietly listen to MUSIC that relaxes you
Talk with one of our PEER COUNSELORS
Or take a MENTAL HEALTH BREAK and do NOTHING
We have a variety of exercises, worksheets, and other tools for you to engage in either in the Wellness Room or outside in nature. Depending on how you are feeling, we can help guide you to the appropriate activity for you. We understand you may be experiencing a variety of emotions when you enter the Wellness Room so we are prepared to assist you in:
Simply talking it out
Providing a journal for you to write about your thoughts & feelings
Learning how to use positive self-talk
Doing mindfulness exercises
Giving you fidget tools
And so much more!
