我们的哲学
The Center for Student Wellness believes that practicing self-care is essential to mental health. We acknowledge that oppression and trauma influence well-being and the effects of oppression and privilege have a bearing on how we are able to care for ourselves. We believe that self-care must center nuanced experiences and includes challenging systems that create and uphold barriers to caring for one’s body, 心, 和灵魂. We encourage students to prioritize their basic needs, connect with supports, and practice their own brand of self-care that makes their body, 心, 灵魂感觉最好, even if that’s taking five minutes for themselves.

问题解决: Think about what's been occupying your 心, 占用空间, and making you feel not so great - maybe it's a pervasive negative thought you have. Write it out and get your thoughts on paper - including a strength you possess that helps you reframe and get through these times. Then talk to someone about what you’re struggling with and be honest - whether it be a friend or professional, have a genuine conversation about how you are feeling and what 你需要.
给 Yourself Permission: To ask for help. When you start to feel overwhelmed it can be easy to catastrophize and think that there is no way to get everything done. But before you let yourself spiral, try to identify the biggest stressor - is a big exam you don’t feel prepared for? Is it a conflict with your roommate? Is it concern for family back home? Is it the mounds of laundry piling up? By identifying your biggest stressor at the time, you know what to tackle first. 上班时间, talk to your roommate, consult with your RA, throw in a load of laundry, or reach out for help - you deserve to be supported!
