Creating a Culture of Wellness

1. Outline programs, services, and facility designs that help address stress-related illnesses and improve the mental health of students.

2. Describe the attitudes, values, behaviors, and lifestyles that student health and wellness providers and universities can encourage.

3. Identify ways in which wellness can be integrated into the campus fabric—such as connections to nature, programmed outdoor spaces, and strategies to promote mobility—to encourage a culture of wellness.

4. Detail a process to encourage stakeholders across the institution to promote health as a core value in your projects and programs. 

There is a troubling spike in the number of students reporting stress-related illnesses and mental health conditions. Discover how to help students develop healthy lifestyles by creating a culture of wellness at your institution. This session will look at how programs, services, and building design can work together to improve student wellbeing. We'll discuss ways to assess student health and wellbeing on your campus, interventions other institutions are using, and how the built environment influences mood, social connection, and learning.
