The end of Shopping Period marks the official start of the semester, which means psets, projects, and papers could begin to pile up already. Because the amount of work can feel overwhelming even at this point of the semester, it is important to prioritize your mental health and well being! Below are a series of tips to help you with self care:
The Good Life Center: Located on the fourth floor of Silliman College, the GLC is a perfect place to relax and get away from the stress of social and academic life. They have regular programming ranging from meditation to onsite health coaches that are available to all students. Find additional information on their website!
Peer Wellness Champions: These are undergraduates who are dedicated to guiding you towards a healthy life at Yale. They host small events throughout the year and are available one-on-one as needed. Find out more information here!
Yale Mental Health: All students under the basic health plan have access to counseling services. To set up an appointment, call 203-432-0290. Pro-Tip: If you're having trouble whatsoever, feel free to contact any of the ambassadors to walk you through setting up appointments or contact your Dean/Head of College as necessary.
